> declarations for global variables

That's huge. I wish LuaJIT adopted this, or at least added a compile time flag to enable it.

Yeah, I wish someone would pick up LuaJIT development. From what I've heard it in practice isn't developed anymore and is stuck at Lua 5.1 still.

  • Not true. It's getting a constant stream of bugfixes. It's also not "stuck" on Lua 5.1, but is deliberately not following Lua's path, except for some backports. There's also a recent post about how a LuaJIT 3 might work.
