If Mike Pall happens to read this, I feel like he's really selling the world short by not writing a book about dynamic language implementation. It could influence generations of programmers! Right now you have to piece together some of his mailing list posts and try to fill in the blanks, but a more thorough explanation from him would be invaluable.
- wwwigham 10y agoHe's also written a large article designing a garbage collector[1], which was very interesting to read. [1]http://wiki.luajit.org/New-Garbage-Collector http://wiki.luajit.org/New-Garbage-Collector
