About:
luajit-openresty is a high-performance, Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler for the Lua programming language, actively maintained by the OpenResty community. It offers significant performance improvements over standard Lua and includes features like a built-in FFI for easy C library integration. This fork is optimized for the demanding I/O and concurrency requirements of OpenResty web applications.
Key Features:
  • High-performance JIT compilation
  • Foreign Function Interface (FFI) for C interop
  • Garbage collection and memory management
  • Drop-in replacement for standard Lua
Use Cases:
  • Powering high-traffic web services with OpenResty
  • Performance-critical scripting and application logic
  • Embedding a fast scripting engine into C/C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • lua – Standard Lua interpreter, slower but strictly standard compliant.
  • luajit-2.1 – The original upstream project, which is currently unmaintained.
