That's another thing, anyone heard from his top-secret underground 
laboratory on LuaJIT 2.x's progress? Has anyone considered 
promoting/heiring him full time for LuaJIT? A x64 port would make this a 
lot more portable & attractive for commercial/multi-platform apps, 
though from what I know of assembly it'll be a pain to do (perhaps just 
for me because I'm a complete newcomer to it).
