Luajit is at least 10x faster than python and easily obviates the need to mess around with cython. That's an easy win for Lua. Let's be honest: Torch has decided that if you cannot beat them, join them. It is about network effects. Not about Python better than Lua intrinsically.

but why do you care if luajit is faster than python if everything that matters is computed on the GPU anyways?

Can't argue with that
