Re: Can LUA e coming with future Grub2

[y.volta]

For the Grub2 internal script engine, yes, it is little. but need more work to be improved. About the size, i think, Lua can be a replacement if this lua.mod is available at runtime. at the same time, why not load gziped mod file from disk? this will reduce the size of lua module: 100,436 bytes -> 49,766.

 

But the benifit of using Lua, i think, is for graphic menu. the gfxmenu uses a strange script engine, it is hard to learn for a common user; but the Lua, it is easy. ;-)

 

 

So, it is good to have lua support in Grub2.
