    An ongoing attempt to re-engineer LuaJIT from scratch

  • Lua

    Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  • Lua naturally avoids hashing strings as much as possible. Short strings always have their hash precomputed and local variables are internalized. The default method for implementing variable scopes in dynamic languages just uses a lot of hash tables, but Lua cleverly avoids this:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
