What does accommodating for a new skillset make a difference to the cost?
There will still be a minimum effort (e.g. in hours) that cannot be reduced by the nature of the employer. A dev will still have to put in the hours to learn a new language.
It seems the cost being described here is cost to the employer, not to the developer.
Are you in a position to speak for Distelli developers?
"The cost of effort their developers will have to put in to be as effective as a LUA developer as they were as a python developer is really not worth this move."
I suppose this could be true in a poisonous environment where scheduling does not accommodate the need to learn a new skillset.
Unless you are familiar with the employer this is an incredibly hostile presumption. I.E. I would not work for such an employer nor would I want to be their customer
