Also, LUA is fine for a scripting language...many gaming platforms use it (although they don't limit LUA as much as FG, which allows for some very creative and useful mods in games), but the clunky way that you have to use/design the XML templates is very outdated and not intuitive or easy to figure out for most, and I hate doing it. I do hope that at some point we can get HTML templates (or something more modern by the time they get to it) to coexist or replace XML. JSON data files and HTML templates is probably where I would go if it were to happen now, but who knows what the future holds.
