I'd really prefer if AngelScript would be deprecated in favor of Lua. Lua is much more mainstream scripting language, has easier to learn syntax and is faster (as in execution speed). Which means more people would be able to code their own stuff as Lua is used across the gaming/modding industry as the go-to scripting backend.

Lua is used in games such as:
- SMBX
- Gmod
- Prison Architect
- And many, many more (few are surprises on that list)

Of course AngelScript backend should remain in place, but only for the sake of compatibility with the older levels.

If news would go into the wild about JJ2 now supporting Lua, I'm sure this will bring more modders into it and maybe revitalize dying JJ2 level scene (yes, I call levels released by the same people over and over again, with no "new blood" dying).
