For what kinds of applications is LuaJIT being used? I’ve always found the standard interpreter fast enough for my needs. Especially when compared to Python.

For what kinds of applications is LuaJIT being used? I’ve always found the standard interpreter fast enough for my needs. Especially when compared to Python.
- ComputerGuru 10mo agoIf Python is your baseline, LuaJit is certainly going to be overkill. But to answer your question: when and where latency matters. Web apps, text editors, etc.
- orthoxerox 10mo agoAnywhere where you run hot loops in Lua inside your own hot loop. Game engines and network appliances are the most common use cases.
- jwitthuhn 10mo agoThe most recent integration I've seen is is OpenMW, which is an open source re-implementation of the Morrowind game engine. Basically it is built on the assumption that people are going to make mods that do a ridiculous amount of number-crunching in lua so any small improvement to performance is welcome.
