This means that after modifying a profile **you will need to extract, contract and reload the data again** and to see changes in the routing results. See [Processing Flow](https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Processing-Flow) for more.
## Profiles are written in LUA
Profiles are not just configuration files. They are scripts written in the [LUA scripting language](http://www.lua.org). The reason for this is that OpenStreetMap data is complex, and it's not possible to simply define tag mappings. LUA scripting offers a powerful way to handle all the possible tag combinations found in OpenStreetMap nodes and ways.
