Lua in itself?

[Jean-Claude Wippler <jcw@...>]

I have a few questions, related to the direction of Lua:

1) Has anyone considered writing more parts of Lua in itself, or is
anyone even doing it (as open source)?  Things like the lexer/parser/
code-generator come to mind.

2) Has anyone considered making the "luac" compiler a Lua library?  And
somewhat related: made mods to have it generate output as string instead
of to file?

3) Has anyone considered making tolua a pure-Lua application, i.e.
recoding the tolua main in Lua?
