Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2013-04-22 19:30:50 UTC 
Brion mentioned this on IRC, but seems there is no bug to go with it..

Rather than using AbuseFilters own language, could/should we switch it to Lua? Just dropping support of the current language would be bad, but preferring to use something more standard?

It is a very good idea. Now the conditions of all filters are tested for all edits, by using Lua we can group the conditions and don't test, for example, filters for anonymous in registered edits.

Not sure whether it's good to add bug 50454 to "see also" and/or reopen it, but this Lua (for AbuseFilter) needs to include a regex library (see ngx.re in the nginx version of Lua), or it will be impossible to migrate current filters.
