How far will LunaLua go?

SMBX 2.0 is coming out, and everyone knows it will feature a new programming tool known as LunaLua. My question is how capable will it be? How simple/easy will it be to use? Will you be able to import enemies from certain types of roms (like say, GB, GBA and DS)? And there should at least be a manual to help you use it, right?

2. Wohlstand's wiki has a cathegory about LunaLua with tutorials and everything you need to know on it. It's a place worth checking out.
3. There's a skype group for people who want to learn lua. It's called codehaus and includes coding veterans as well as newcomers.

Also, if you go on Wohlstand's wiki you can get a general idea of how capable it is.

I think lua will go as far until a stronger and more stable substitute for SMBX altogether comes out.

Lua is limitless, as long as you know how to use it.

Isn't that what pge is trying to reach?

I think that SMBX won't have another scripting language because Lua is good enough. Anyway, PGE will have improved SMBX-like engine, but you will be able to make any platform game in PGE, it will be limitless.

Nah, even if it was I don't really think it is going that far.
Most people are switching to Lunalua and we're getting SMBX 2.0 in future which contains Lunalua with SMBX.
Plus, I've seen many good coding skills with Lunalua from Maglx2, 2k1x (Halloween Hypnosis and Sinem Mayhem), and I think there would be more ideas in CC12.
