It looks like there's already a contest going on about the best way
to hijack and destroy LuaJIT with the most atrocious and hazardous
changes.
I could't possibly anticipate how fast things would go downhill
without leadership. The raptors can sense the void. They're already
sharpening their claws at the portal.
I'm outta here in a couple of days. Good luck. You'll need it.
Hi Mike,
I think it would be very helpful to LuaJIT's future if you defined
some principles for its evolution, similar to what the C standard has:
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/wg14/www/docs/n1250.pdf
Also is there no way for you to continue leading LuaJIT for a while
more - maybe delegate the actual work to other people, but be
responsible for accepting / rejecting changes, and setting direction?

Dibyendu
