Thanks!  That looks much more ... featureless.  I take that as
module luci.lucid is gone without a replacement.  Too bad.

I've read that OpenWrt's LuCI web interface will be replaced by a
non-Lua-based one in the future (LuCI2).  What does that mean for the
Lua scripting language in OpenWrt?  Is Lua low-level API support (luci,
nixio) fading out?  I mean, whatever (C coded) shell tools there are
(uci, iw etc.), for any task requiring more than a handful of code lines
shell is in no way a language competitive to Lua.  Any other scripting
language in sight that's worth the love of OpenWrt users?

Best regards,
