Re: BIG request, someone can port luajit ffi module to lua?

[Axel Kittenberger <axkibe@...>]

I think the most realistic general purpose solution would be some
meta-syntax that produces .ffi definitions for jit and automatic
gluecode generation for common lua. But as with many things, for one
project its indeed simpler to do it just 2 times, the utility of such
thing would only come if done once to be used often.
