LuaJIT

Is LuaJIT being considered for use in Love?

[rude]

Yes. It will be used eventually, but it's not exactly first in line.

I am wondering if anything has changed since I posted this.

Anyone look into it at all?

At the moment, LuaJIT 2.0 is still in beta. Therefore, LÖVE won't use it.

Such is the current state of things in LuaJIT-land. You can however compile LÖVE yourself to use LuaJIT, if you so desire.

I have been compiling OS X builds of the LuaJIT 2.0 betas with LÖVE, however it causes a crash on quit in the next version of LÖVE (0.8.0), due to some differences in the way LuaJIT handles garbage collection compared to regular Lua, I think.
