Just like LuaJIT 1, this is amazing for a one-person project developed more or less in stealth mode. At least for some narrow benchmarks, he's nearing or matching the Hotspot JVM and GCC 4 with a dynamic, JavaScript-like language. This will do for Lua what Google hopes V8 will do for JavaScript.
- stevejohnson 17y agoI have wondered for a while what the world would be like if JavaScript were to be replaced with Lua in the browser.
- silentbicycle 17y agoIndeed. Lua seems like a twin to JavaScript that was separated at birth, and actually had a chance to mature before being released. I'm really surprised it isn't used more widely (outside of the game industry).
