AIUI the Lua idea was explicitly run past the few people who write the
insanely horrible brainfuck-like ParserFunctions templates. (Is this
correct?) They would be the relevant part of the editor community -
most of the editor community just want the template itself to work,
they neither know nor care about the details of the plumbing.
So, has anyone translated {{cite}} to Lua? Is it comprehensible? Does
it run faster?
The "community" is not a single thing. The
community is made up of
hundreds of sub-communities. If people are interested in technical
decisions, they need to participate where technical decisions are
made.
Well, one would think so.
