LUAJIT
Tracing JIT compiler for Lua with C FFI
MIT
ABOUT
Standard Lua is too slow for hot paths in games, proxies, and embedded agents. LuaJIT compiles traces to machine code and calls C via FFI so teams keep Lua scripts while matching C performance on numeric and I/O heavy loops.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Embed a fast Lua runtime in a native agent or game engine
2. Speed up Nginx and OpenResty scripts with the LuaJIT FFI
3. Call C libraries from Lua without a handwritten binding
4. Run numeric hot loops in Lua at near-C speed
