LuaJIT is such an amazing piece of software - apparently to such an extent that only Mike Pall fully understands some of its internals. Besides being much faster than the official Lua VM, it offers extended features like the FFI library [1].
Kong[2] uses it extensively, by leveraging the underlying OpenResty[3] framework.

- placebo 9y ago> LuaJIT is such an amazing piece of software - apparently to such an extent that only Mike Pall fully understands some of its internals Fully agree about the awesomeness of LuaJIT and incredible capabilities of Mike Pall, but also the reason I've stopped considering using LuaJIT for projects that should be "future proof". I think that depending on technology which can only be maintained by one genius is too much of a risk.
