I hope we'll be able to bring an on-calc editor to make it even better.

That would be a really nice development for Nspire owners. :D

We need an oncalc editor now. Maybe if TI will keep giving in we can get the keys or C/Asm or both

A third-party port of Lua (presumably the one started by davyg) + a specialized version of e.g. nWriter for Lua could help providing an on-calc editor ;)

Yeah. It also needs to be user-friendly. This is partially what made Axe Parser so successful on the 83+.

TI has acknowledged Lua on their website...

But they mainly call it "scripting". :P

We selected Lua because it is a mature language. It's been around since 1995, has mainstream acceptance and has been used in other applications. For example, it has been adopted by the gaming community in other products such as World of Warcraft®

Well, it was only a matter of time. I'm just glad they are offering it for free.

I can't believe they mentioned World of Warcraft and gaming in an article related to programming on the Nspire.
HEY TI, HAVE YOU LOST IT? YOU HAVE A NO GAMING OR FUN PROGRAM STANCE REMEMBER? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

Yeah I saw on ticalc earlier. I posted a news about it too. Hopefully Lua gets more popular.

Now I hope they don't port WoW to calcs! O.O

That would be kind of awesome though if they released WoW for the Nspire
