We're working to support Lua as a scripting language for MediaWiki end users, including Wikipedia editors. You can try out the prototype now at http://scribunto.wmflabs.org/ .

Of course, the introduction of a programming language would bring with it a number of other problems, particularly with regards to privacy, security and memory footprint. As a result, the long term consensus was that the introduction of a programming language would be a major undertaking, including time for discussing which languages would work best in a heavily sanitised environment. The project as a whole has been discussed at regular intervals, but it was only this week that a consensus seemed to emerge in favour of Lua, a lightweight but relatively unheard-of language generally regarded as being "easy to learn" (wikitech-l mailing list).

"LuaCore is an Objective-C framework for running Lua scripts. Even better than that, it includes a bridge so that you can pass in Objective-C objects, and work with them in the Lua environment. You can call functions and methods and all kinds of other cra

"What if you could provide a seamlessly integrated, fully dynamic language with a conventional syntax while increasing your application's size by less than 200K on an x86? You can do it with Lua!" Looks like JavaScript from an alternate universe. Lots o
