Lua JIT using IBMs open sourced OMR

[David Crayford <dcrayford@...>]

IBM have recently open sourced their J9 JVM which is significantly 
faster than hotspot. The JIT compiler, GC etc is implemented using OMR 
https://github.com/eclipse/omr.

Interesting! Using this technology somebody should be able to quite 
easily implement a cross-platform JIT compiler for Lua that runs on 
every device from a mobile phone to a mainframe.
