JIT Compilers for Ruby and Rails: An Overview
Clone the repository and run the following commands:

YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler for CRuby
Just in case anybody finds the subject interesting and would like to play with this topic, there's an experimental native-Ruby JIT project by @tenderlove: https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit (and the companion native-Ruby assembler Fisk: https://github.com/tenderlove/fisk).

Tenderjit – A JIT for Ruby Written in Ruby
It’s x86-64 only. A quick look at the https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit/blob/main/lib/tender... linked from the README reveals heavy references to x86-64 registers. The “Fisk” library used appears to be a x86-64 assembler in Ruby.
I guess that’s to be expected with “pure ruby” — all the cross-insn backends you can use (Cranelift, LLVM) are written in not-Ruby.

On the impossibility of composing finalizers and FFI
Unfortunately things aren't so simple, as when doing JIT compilation, LuaJIT _will_ try to shorten the lifetimes of local variables. Using the latest available version of LuaJIT (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/0d313b243194a0b8d239...), the following reliably fails for me:
local ffi = require"ffi" -
Building a baseline JIT for Lua automatically
I am using https://luajit.org/ in my GCC C++ project.
Can I use this faster Lua JIT in my project as a replacement? And if so, how so?
The existing luajit doesn't do v5.1, so it would be nice to use this newer engine at the newer baseline lua version level.

LuaJIT Uses Rolling Releases
I think https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/6a2163a6b45d6d251599... improved things a bit, notably making automatic tarballs work again.

How to clear a table without wasting memory?
There is nothing on luajit.org, so I assume that 2.0 doesn't have the extensions added (think the site is still on 2.0). However I found some proof in the mirrored git repo, that they do exist and also my luajit interpreter (2.1.0-beta3) shows them as builtins.

Recommendations for JS Engines that could be embedded in my Game Engine
If you absolutely want a performant scripting runtime, I'd recommend taking a look at LuaJit, DaScript or AngelScript.

Any embeddable language compatible with C (like Lua) but compiled?
If you don't like that - look towards JIT-compilers. Lua has one
