Hi everybody,

I recently learned about WebAssembly/WASM, a bytecode format for web browsers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAssembly
http://webassembly.org/

The format is suitable as a compilation target for C/C++ compilers, and so the original Lua already runs in a WASM environment.

Are there any plans add a WebAssembly target to LuaJIT? I realize that porting LuaJIT to a new target architecture is quite an undertaking, but I wanted to inquire whether there is any hope.

Best regards,
Paul
