LuaJIT is a work of great beauty and efficiency. I've been working on a commercial product for small ARM boards where rapid prototyping has been essential because of ever changing requirements but the speed of the finished code is also paramount. LuaJIT has made this project an absolute pleasure. It wraps C libraries cleanly, it runs within 5-10% of native code speed on the ARM (I checked because I didn't believe it at first) and it's 100% compatible with all the Lua 5.1 supporting libraries I need. This new profiler will be a great addition to the toolbox along with ZeroBrane Studio's debugger which I just discovered this week and which also rocks.

Mike Pall needs several Jolt Awards.

That is no lie. I like lua, but it never seemed to be the best fit for the problems that I need to solve. Nevertheless, if I could pick any one person to work on my language/runtimes of choice, it would be Mike Pall.

Now does Mike have any kids? Start pointing them in the direction of Rust, por favor :)

Now I'm only waiting for ZeroBrane to integrate the profiler into the IDE and LUA beats the rest by far. I'll try to integrate the profiler and debugging API into the lua derived potion and p2 as well.
