User blog comment:Grunny/Introducing Lua, for faster and more powerful templates/@comment-1824272-20140613211455

I'm an experienced developer in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP, and I've never heard of Lua before in my life! :P But I'm really excited to start learning a new language! The speed increase can't be argued against, and just seeing the simplified template syntax really impresses me. Very excited indeed. :D

Two questions, though... how exactly is this going to translate into VisualEditor, and what will happen to the old wikitext templates?
