@catwell Thanks for the links and the "real" Lua perspective! My plan with RaptorJIT is to start from LuaJIT, take away the sharp edges, add good tooling, and add a...

@jimblandy Sounds like a balanced take :). I do think that I have a couple of new things figured out, which can make a big improvement on LuaJIT in my...

NB: Just a couple of weeks after this blog entry I chased a performance problem here: https://github.com/raptorjit/raptorjit/pull/150. This was an optimization that had introduced a separate fast-path and slow-path, which...

I added _hyperthreads_ which I think is a good fit. Interesting that people are commenting and also finding analogies to _more_ protocols than just TCP :). I also reckon there...
