I kinda wish something like this would happen with LuaJIT, so it can get out of Lua’s shadow. Lua has breaking changes all the time, which makes sense for its original purpose — embedding — where you don’t need to follow updates. As such the version supported varies among different environments. But LuaJIT has an ecosystem that they try not to break. It’s more of a “conventional” scripting language because of that. It also has an FFI that isn’t in plain Lua.
