I think its less obvious to a user who'd never heard of lua until recently. I think it would be very helpful if someone had a comparison and could put it on the wiki. <br><br>I spent some time poking around on the wiki before I decided to write my scripts in javascript. If I had seen any warnings on scalability/performance, especially with good data to back it up, I probably would have chosen something else.<br>

<div style="">Its obvious if you look at the size of the JS VM vs the lua VM.. it would clearly scale better not needing megs and megs of ram per call vs about 160kb for lua. Lua took about 20 min to learn and about an hour to get the finer points down.<div>

I'd love to see some data that shows how big the difference really is. I could port all my scripts from javascript to lua, but it would require a lot of overhead (me learning lua + actually porting the scripts). I want to know how much benefit there really is to that.<br>
