:) I didn't know that thanks for pointing it out. i guess the owner can pick but the variety is still interesting and the tone is not preachy to me. How did LuaJIT compare cannot find an archive chart?

I took the link from a Lua book (Wrox) and frankly found plain Lua _pretty interesting_. Plus I did mention that I will not look at anything seriously until it is for something I need to use or implement and i test against my requirements/solution at that time. Language to me are like spoken languages do you want a pizza recepie in Italian or French ... no I really want pizza :).

I saw on the LuaJIT website some performance data so if I am someone looking at getting the most out of Lua code i will consider it ;) without caring whether it is on there or not.
