Great start! Thank you!I suppose that FFI+Refletion will serve as basis for bunch of new, cool serialization tools [*].
Personally, I am going to utilize the API for a several experiments with the sqlite bytecode (VDBE [1]) next weekends ;-).
Kind Regards, Alek [1] http://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/artifact/87b8ff40?ln=37-75[*] LuaJIT FFI+Reflection means possibility of the light, easy, efficient and portable serialization of the native data structures to the current message formats. (actually, the first *really* easy and right solution for real life C data graphs AFAIK).
IMO, this feature gives the practical chance for the users of many proven C libs to evolve and expand their cases according today's message oriented designs.
I am very optimistic about the above application popularity, once the first "cool" sample makes his way to the "front pages" :-).
