A furiously fast (but still pleasant on the eyes :) serialization
function would indeed be handy. The multicore performance seems to
be largely dependent on serialization speed.
Of course, this only applies if tables are used for passing things
over. But -then again- Lua is all about tables, so they should be
efficiently and transparently usable in multicore applications, too.
What Say Lua Authors on this?
You mean adding table serialization to the core libraries? The problem
is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. A robust serialization
is not good for visualization, cycle handling slows down the algorithm,
etc.
