LuaJIT is a Just-In-Time Compiler for the Lua programming language.
Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. More information about Lua can be found at: » http://www.lua.org/
LuaJIT 1.x is based on the Lua 5.1.x virtual machine and bytecode interpreter from lua.org. It compiles bytecode to native x86 (i386+) machine code to speed up the execution of Lua programs.
LuaJIT depends on Coco to allow yielding from coroutines for JIT compiled functions. Coco is part of the LuaJIT distribution.
