Good points. Perhaps Luajit does need to be refactored into something more understandable to attract more people if it's going to survive in the long term. The major problem that I see is that we need another Mike Pall but with the added ability of writing code comprehensible by mere mortals.
- dividuum 10y agoI'm not sure you can refactor away the complexity of LuaJIT. It will always end up somewhere as a complete jit'ing compiler with no external dependencies just is inherently a complex beast. What might make sense it to have a more accessible documentation on how LuaJIT works. There are blog posts, mailing list posts and source code comments that probably give an almost complete picture, but there is not central place to find it all.
