For later.
As discussed before, access via HTTP is probably hardly an option for the
Wikimedia wikis (and they are our priority), but for other wikis that will
be crucial.

How useful would it be for Lua to access to the
query/content/parser API
be?
I am suspecting there could be a lot of creative usages of this, including
getting data from the wikidata (which won't have to do anything special to
enable this)

Is this new prog language going to affect this? I mean, will it help
us to write new templates which will call those data more easily?
I believe that some members of the Wikidata team are interested in
allowing Lua modules to fetch data directly from Wikidata. We have
added a couple of hooks to Scribunto to support this, but the library
hasn't been designed or implemented yet, as far as I can tell.
It is in the works and I would love if you find the time to review it
once
it's up on Gerrit (which should happen this
week).
Lua scripting is indeed a big deal for us at Wikidata — structured data
from Wikidata is available as JSON which can be thrown around and
iterated
over as Lua tables. This has the potential to
unleash some niftyness in
Wikidata-based Infobox templates.
