Part of the reason is also that Mike Pall is actually a hyper-advanced cyborg from the future.

In case you're not sure what I'm talking about, read through the LuaJIT source code at some point. It's a thing of beauty - he's handcrafted assembly to make everything run as fast as possible, on all of x86, x64, PowerPC and now ARM.



Yes.

"LuaJIT 2.0 intellectual property disclosure and research opportunities" <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lua.general/58908&#...; is further proof to that.

Rumor has it that Mike Pall is actually a collective pseudonym used by an army of cycle counting language expert cyborgs (from the future).


Mike Pall is awesome but Mozilla has a hord of very talented compiler guys. They have to fight against legacy code and a badly designed language.

I have learned alot about LuaJit already and I will digg into it more in the future.
