But those improvements backfired, as Mike Pall refused to update luajit with them. They have now a 10x slower language implementation.

- strenholme 5y agoIf you want Lua which is luajit compatible, do what I did and use Lua 5.1 for the scripting engine. This way, if luajit performance is ever needed, scripts written with my engine will not break. Lua 5.1 + bit32 (because, yes, I like to be able to do bitwise and/or/xor stuff) is my current favorite scripting language.
