That's good to hear. Perhaps LuaJIT isn't "unsupported", but it does seem to be "in maintenance mode".
I would love to see, not just bug fixes to LuaJIT, but ongoing improvements. Unfortunately with Mike having stepped down, and there being no successor, nobody is making these improvements and nobody is driving the project forward.
For example, will the new garbage collector [1] ever be implemented? Will LuaJIT remain stuck at version 5.1 while PUC Lua continues to add new features?

- sobersombrero 10y agoMike Pall may not be maintaining Luajit any longer, but he still plays some sort of role preserving his legacy - shutting down genuine problems as wontfix. Here's one example: https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/203 https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/203 This is not helpful. I stand by my assessment that luajit is unsupported software. If it works for you - all the best.
- spoonie 10y agoWhat's wrong with not wanting the LuaJIT codebase to have a dependency on the C++ the runtime?
- sobersombrero 10y agoJust one of many issues not addressed. This code base is effectively frozen.
