Yes, and at the risk of stating the obvious, many bindings are not
particularly speed-sensitive. Sure, if you are doing high-performance
computing in Lua, this is probably a new golden age (and that isn't

user would not notice a few milliseconds difference.

Alien is fast enough, mostly, and a FFI-compatible interface to it
would be fine for many tasks, with an immediate optimization path
available.

My thoughts exactly.
