Thread:Extension talk:Scribunto/Security concerns

Some security concerns were raised when it was proposed to install Scribunto on our wiki: "This extension suggests adding a programming language (lua) to the wiki, accessible by all users. Nothing less! Some people criticize us already for using javascript as security risk, that is a wiki native language... And how many are already using wikitext efficiently? The same thing can be done using a sampler template that could be written without this extension."

How can these concerns be addressed? Thanks.
