This weekend, at Code Camp Seattle 2.0, Peter Provost and Brad Wilson presented on Worlds of Warcraft, and how you could use a scripting language, LUA, built into it to change the UI. I don't play WoW, but though it would be an interesting change (it was!)

LUA seemed like an interesting language. I can think opf a number of times over the years, where I had thought that it would be nice to expose scripting extensibility points in my applications. I made a mental note to explore this further.

This morning, while trouble shooting an unrelated problem, I downloaded the latest Wireshark (used to be called Ethereal) and noticed the installer had an option to install LUA (experimental.)

Intersting how seeing something in one place makes you more prone to notice it in others.
