HUGE congrats to Mike Pall. No amount of praise to him is enough.
Hopefully, sponsors will continue to donate to this project to keep Mike fully employed and ensure long-term commitment of this project.
I encourage sponsors to considered donating [1]
On a side note, I wish the Programming Language Shootout [2] would add back in LuaJIT to demonstrate just how fast LuaJIT is in comparison to other languages. It's just amazing.
