I'd go after the 'cleanup' and 'bug' issues first, or in parallel.


I'm personally most interested in the ones related to buffers, such as

14, 16


Nice to have, would be

15 - replace more builtins with bytecode, but that's very nice to have, and not
strictly necessary


These all seem well scoped, and relatively easy to tackle compared to some
others.


From a 'whew, that makes life easier' perspective, I'd want:

issue 29 - handle all constant declarations


One of my most challenging workarounds relates to int64_t bitfields. I've only
every run across it once.

There is a list of issues on the LuaJIT GitHub mirror at
https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT. Which issues does the LuaJIT
community believe are the most important and should be worked on first?

This might provide a rough idea of which issues to start work on. I
feel like doing one issue at a time might be a good way for the
community to start work on the LuaJIT codebase without being
overwhelmed.
