wtf luajit is a monster
- steveklabnik 7y agoIt really is.

- chaorace 7y agoI think it's cheating a bit to compare JIT vs runtime script evaluation. I'd be more interested to see LuaJIT performance measured against something more comparable, like JS running on V8.
- tomnipotent 7y agoProbably why it's so popular in games as a scripting engine (going back to 2003).
- est 7y ago> in games as a scripting engine (going back to 2003) you are think of lua, luajit is a different beast. http://luajit.org/changes.html http://luajit.org/changes.html LuaJIT 1.0.3 — 2005-09-08 This is the first public release of LuaJIT.
- tomnipotent 7y agoDidn't realize they had the Python/PyPy thing going on. Thanks for the info!
- stjohnswarts 7y agoI thought it was dead/dying though? No future plans to add new features, especially sense the creator said he was done with it...
