I’m confused I thought Mike Pall left luajit and Laurence Tratt took over as maintainer?

- dang 4mo agoMike Pall is to LuaJIT as PG is to Hacker News. Edit: meaning he can come back anytime.
- misiek08 3mo agoHe left for a break, returned and there was no second break or anything. I don't want to spam it in repo, so leaving it here: he is kind of a hero doing this work and I (hopefully we) am very grateful for his contribution to this world.
- swah 3mo agoAre there great uses of LuaJIT out there? It was such a big thing before fast JS engines IIRC.
- orthoxerox 3mo agoCloudflare does or at least did use it a lot.

- ltratt 3mo agoWe did have a project some years ago looking at extending LuaJIT on which Tom Fransham did excellent work. Alas, the funder's priorities moved on (as is their right!), so we didn't get to finish it. It was a bit sad, as we (well, mostly Tom) had built up a real head of steam, but c'est la vie. Still, either way, I would never have claimed enough personal expertise with LuaJIT to take over maintainership!
