I have no objection to this going in. In case anyone is wondering why we don't just build Neovim with LuaJIT: - LuaJIT isn't as portable, although we could use it only for certain arches. - We'd have to add a LuaJIT FLAVOR to every Lua dependency. I looked at that in the past when I was first porting Neovim and it looked non-trivial. I don't really have the motivation for it, but I won't object if someone else wants to try. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett https://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
