Yes, i was talking about GNU Lightning, the generic word must be replaced
for "multi-language". From their page:
"""
GNU lightning is a library that generates assembly language code at run-time; it
is very fast, making it ideal for Just-In-Time compilers, and it abstracts over
the target CPU, as it exposes to the clients a standardized RISC instruction set
inspired by the MIPS and SPARC chips. GNU lightning is not yet complete. Only
the x86 back-end has been tested and used in production code.
"""
So, can be applied to Lua? :)
