Fortunately, open-source projects can have more than one contributor. 2024 commit log includes:
Bump CI to macOS 13
Add AVX512 support
Update LuaJIT
Document AMD, Intel, Nvidia GPU support
Add support for LLVM18
Support SPIR-V code generation
I'm well aware but consider what it means that the guy that created it has walked away from it
If the project is actively maintained after 10 years, it means he created a sustainable foundation.
If you're aware of specific open issues with the project, identified by the founder or others, please share details.
do you understand that "use one language to emit another language that is then immediately compiled" is literally like hundreds of languages now? numba/cupy/pytorch/jax/julia/etc/etc/etc. they all implement both a high level IR that can be transformed via the high level language (python) and a JIT/compiler/whatever.
so like why would i ever use this thing terra+lua+"5 guys maintaining it in a basement somewhere" thing?
