There is no argument to be had. There is a preference to be had which stops at "I like this better"

OP didn't ask whether he should or should not replace TS with Lua, he asked how he can begin doing that.

Realize that OP is not you and does not operate on the same standards as you.

Of course there is an argument, it is totally common sense to argue whether you should or not do something before you do something. Everyone should operate on the same standards of sanity.

Imagine someone on a car forum asks how to do something stupid like how he can replace the wheels with wooden wheels, of course the first question of the sane people in that forum would be "Why the hell you want to do that?" and even if the persists with it, they will tell him to not do it and list all the potential drawbacks and dangers associated with it and even if he still persists most people would not help him, because they don't want to be responsible for such an insane undertaking.

And that is why I list the potential problems you may run into replacing the scripting language and even if you manage to do it, there is still no guarantee that you gain anything in the end.

Any and all arguments and so called "standards of sanity" are all relative.(Including what I am saying here) Expecting people to operate on the same standards is for lack of a better word, fantasy.

You might as well not reply to a help thread if you come into it with an attitude of "Please justify to me appealing to my own standards why your idea is good for me to help you"

People generally are only looking to solve their goals and don't want to bother going back and forth trying to appeal to another ego.

The car example is a stretch too when a new scripting language poses no physical harm.

Thats my 2C though and my last post on the matter to avoid further derailing.

"Because others do so" is not an argument. I have seen the BeamNG implementation and they added a "lua" folder next to the "script" folder and you had Torquescript and Lua in the same game making things even more complicated. We also have C# script implementation, so if you do Lua as well, we will even have 3 scripting languages instead of 1.
