Also interesting is that https://luajit.org/status.html now states “LuaJIT is actively developed and maintained” (whereas for the last ~5 years, “actively” isn’t a word I’d have used), and makes reference to a TBA development branch.

This makes me soooo happy to hear because with all of the forks of LuaJIT post it not being maintained by Mike ~5 years ago, no one seems to carry the baton very well.

LuaJIT is truly an engineering marvel that more folks should adopt.

If it's actively being maintained again, hopefully that will happen.

What I don't quite get is the follow:

"Please note: The main LuaJIT author (Mike Pall) is working on unrelated projects and cannot accept bigger sponsorships at this time. But other community members may be open to sponsorship offers — please ask on the LuaJIT mailing list for any takers."

https://luajit.org/sponsors.html

"If you want to pay someone to make a change to LuaJIT, Mike Pall is not available, but other people on the LuaJIT mailing list may be."

That's some good news I needed but didn't deserve!

The RISC-V port is marked as TBA, too.
