Nice stuff! Hopefully Nspire Lua programming will be documented well enough soon so more people can program on their calculator.

Damn.  I need an nspire.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

IS there much hope for a documented API in the near future?
This looks like it is going to be fun

Have they replied yet. I can see them saying "What we do not have a hidden programming language this is all a lie" aor "I'm sorry we are not allowed to release that information

The Community(Us) will probably have to make our own one
I asked TI about that on their facebook page lol

I'm sure they'll claim such language isn't available on the calc. :P Kinda like when they reply that the 84+ has a total of 24 KB of RAM instead of 48.

A huge list of LUA IDEs can be found at http://www.wowwiki.com/Lua_editors . Multiple of them are bound to be scriptable, a scriptability which could be used to act upon improved nspire_emu & Ncubate versions.
Having one sub-par IDE specific to the Nspire platform, with a sub-par build system specific to that IDE, is probably not a model to follow :)

If I was to suggest a Lua IDE, I'd say your best bet would to be to go with SciTE.  It's really useful for bigger projects, and has quick code checking options.

SciTE is my main code edition tool for various programming languages, but I'm not sure it's scriptable enough for full integration with the emulators, and it's not native under MacOS X (it's a GTK+ program on top of X11, I sometimes use the version compiled from MacPorts).
Notepad++ (for Windows) and Komodo Edit (Windows, MacOS X, Linux) sound like other good choices.

It's likely that they won't reply, or that they'll delete the post.

I find it easy to use and its in LiberKey(portable programs) so that is just a plus

I'm currently using UltraEdit (license required) for syntax coloring, with keyboard shortcuts to call the Lua to TNS converter and luac for computer-side syntax checking. Maybe I'll try to integrate it with nspire_emu/Ncubate, sending the file by hand between each test is a pain.
