Also interesting is that https://luajit.org/status.html now states “LuaJIT is actively developed and maintained” (whereas for the last ~5 years, “actively” isn’t a word I’d have used), and makes reference to a TBA development branch.
LuaJIT is truly an engineering marvel that more folks should adopt.
If it's actively being maintained again, hopefully that will happen.
What I don't quite get is the follow:
"Please note: The main LuaJIT author (Mike Pall) is working on unrelated projects and cannot accept bigger sponsorships at this time. But other community members may be open to sponsorship offers — please ask on the LuaJIT mailing list for any takers."
That's some good news I needed but didn't deserve!
