Not another "Let's get rid of GScript and replace it with something else" thread. Stefan previously said this about replacing the scripting language with Lua:

So it's quite interesting, but not a drop-in replacement. If we ever switch to another language or system then only for speed (e.g. a just-in-time compiler which exist for all platforms, including iphone, llvm might be the light at the end of the tunnel) or for better compatibility with code from other platforms, including Flash and Java programs.

Now, let's accept that GScript2 exists and that we're not using Python/Lua and move on with our lives.
