I didn't want to plug my projects in your thread. It's really only meant for education because that just allows us to just avoid implementing lots of boring stuff and...

It's not immediately obvious why the second assembler listing works. The trick is: Lua/RaptorJIT uses NaN tagging, i.e., pointers etc look like NaN values when interpreted as double. NaN values...

What's the best way to handle environments until we get first class support for them? I'm currently thinking about writing a plugin that just emits `setlocal ` with an `@type`...

Well, I guess the static definition is not enough if a non-base type inherits from a template, so what would really be needed is a dynamic class definition based on...
