So is LuaJIT resuming active development after a decade or so of only maintenance? Great!

A lot of these changes make sense (although some of them are a bit too TIMTOWTDI for my taste) - but perhaps LuaJIT 3 would benefit from a change of name as well? Certainly with all these changes, it would be more like a separate language than merely a JIT-compiled version of Lua.

There Is More Than One Way To Do It.

That takes me back a bit. It's a perl-ism. I used to think it was a great design feature but I've come to strongly prefer "There should be one way to do it, and it should be obvious"

Interesting, thank you.
