I'm concerned about the bus factor of LuaJIT. If the advanced cyborg known as Mike Pall decides to quit (as has happened once already) then what happens? Vanilla Lua performance isn't *bad* by any means, but hardly remarkable compared to LuaJIT.
Fennel looks like a gorgeous lisp. I will probably play with it at some point.
- db65edfc7996 5y agoYou can continue to use the LuaJIT that has been released? The Lua language has been very stable and has little need to develop for developments sake. There are a few things that might be nice to have, but few of them are worth more platform churn.
- adenozine 5y agoOne RCE bug in a codebase only one person actually knows really well… recipe for disaster. It could happen. I’ve been coding more than three decades and I’ve read some real horror stories over the years. If I were a luajit user, I’d be interested in trying to raise funding to get some more eyes on the source. It’s an engineering marvel, that’s incontestable, but it needs more coverage in case something happens. Even just to make room whenever Mike decides to retire. I thought cloudflare and Kong would kick back to the community more, but that seems not to be the case.
