I just tried to run the sieve.lua test program (sieve of Eratosthenes via coroutines) It runs fine with N=1000 but exits prematurely on larger args. Maybe a bit OT but it can be instructive to benchm

Ok I missed the thread, because searching with "direct threaded" keywords. Well 3% gain... I wasn't expecting much for the reasons you mentioned, but, but I still think this is little effort to suppo

The description isn't even strictly correct. Not only expressions are printed. "math.random();" is a statement that is printed. (Because of course it's not checking if the input is an expression but

Of course. But if the lines were reversed you'd have a problem. I'm sure everyone knows not to trust `_` as a rvalue and explicitly writes `nil`. If `_` were reserved as a placeholder name then as a
