-==About OpenSim scripting==
-An important ingredient in Second Life is scripting. It is the engine that drives it all. In SL [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL (Linden Scripting Language)] is the language you have to use. This language has its limitations, and is executed very slowly. But nevertheless it works and it gets the job done.Linden Labs are planning to move LSL scripting over to C# on Mono some time in the future. This has been in the works since 2005 at least. There are many technical challenges related to this.<br>

-OpenSim today supports LSL and C# scripts. But with limitations:
-* Not all commands and events have been implemented. See [[LSL Status]] for details on what commands work and which don't.
-* Scripts that are running cannot cross region borders.
-* You cannot use loops inside your scripts. Actually you can use loops, but it will block other scripts from executing.
-<br />
-The OpenSim script engine compiles the LSL code down to .Net code that is JIT'ed to CPU native code. In effect this means that a LSL script in OpenSim should run faster than in Second Life. Stability and security: see [[Script_Sandbox | Script Execution Sandbox]].

-==Supported Languages==
-For a list of supported scripting languages, go to [[Scripting_Languages|here]].

-==How to use scripts in OpenSim==
-Have a look at the [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL wiki] to learn LSL. The current procedure to get a script working in OpenSim is:
-* Create a new script in inventory. (Inventory -> Create -> New Script)
-* Write whatever script you want there, or copy the script contents of another script in the pre-existing OpenSim library. Check [[LSL Status]] for what commands that are supported.
-* Drag the script over to the contents of an object.
-* Delete the script from the object to deactivate script.
-<br />
-There are still some defects:
-* Line numbers in error messages may miss by 1 or 2 lines.
