Here is a thought experiment too: Where will Lua, LuaJIT, and RaptorJIT be language-wise in 10 years? Here's one possibility... Lua is on version 6.x. The language is better but...

I have to acknowledge that I may be over-estimating the porting effort required to make applications support new Lua versions. The [HoPL](https://www.lua.org/doc/hopl.pdf) paper paints the picture that new versions are...
