You do not need to compile lua in TS. All the old scripts in Kuju are not compiled.
Compilation was only in parts useful to gain speed, lua is fast enough without compilation. It is more a method to hide code from other rivals.
In my opinion we would have much better and more complex scripts when most of the people would publish their code under an open source licence like the GPL licence (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Gener ... ic_License ). Reason is not that lua would be too complicate, it't the TS which has it's own flaws.
