Change Details

Brion mentioned this on IRC, but seems there is no bug to go with it.. Rather than using AbuseFilters own language, could/should we switch it to Lua? Just dropping support of the current language would be bad, but preferring to use something more standard? -------------------------- **Version**: master **Severity**: enhancement **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37192 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66032 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50454

As a maintainer of Lua modules and abuse filters, I want to be able to use the same language for both tasks, so that the learning curve is not so steep. Rather than using AbuseFilters own language, with its own bugs and limitations, could/should we switch it to Lua? Just dropping support of the current language would be bad, but preferring to use something more standard? **See Also**: * {T39192} * {T68032} * {T52454}
