Please considering sponsoring [1] LuaJIT so that Mike can continue working on it.
Lua Fun looks like a wonderful addition to the Lua ecosystem.

- dubcanada 13y agoI can't agree with you enough.
- pjmlp 13y ago> Even though we occassionally talk about Lua on HN, it frankly still doesn't get enough attention - nor does Mike Pall and his fantastic work on LuaJIT. Because most HNers are web developers and care only about the browser. Lua is really strong in the game developer community.
- saosebastiao 13y agoMost? I'd say far from most. I see just as many articles about Go, Scala, Clojure, etc. as I do Javascript.
- pjmlp 13y agoHow much of those are for native applications? The realm where Lua tends to be used most.
- seabrookmx 13y agoYes, but usually in the context of web development as these are common server side languages for web apps. pjmpl just meant we don't see a lot of game developer content on here, which is largely a C++ dominated area (with Lua game scripting becoming a lot more common).
- epsylon 13y ago> Go, Scala, Clojure All of them languages which are mostly used for web.
- justincormack 13y agoopenresty is getting a lot more attention with web developers. and I think its actually strongest in the "other" category but a lot is not very public.
