I'm sorry that you feel that way, but you can still completely disable Lua during compile time and get a working editor (albeit with less features). In my opinion Lua is among the least sucking languages for the purpose it is used in vis. It is simple (almost everything is a table) but still versatile and powerful. Also the implementation is rather nice. Up to a point you can think of Lua as a runtime replacement for the C pre-processor commonly used by suckless projects for configuration purposes. Both approaches are better than writing your own configuration parser. Marc
