Re: typed arrays

[Tom <tmbdev@...>]

because if you're in an application that has that high of performance needs you're

probably using LuaJIT anyway, and if you're interfacing with unrelated
C libraries you're probably dealing in C data structures already.

Efficient numerical and matrix computing in scripting languages (Octave, NumPy, R, ...) works by having a standard array type that every library uses.  No access to C data types is needed beyond that, and LuaJIT really doesn't help (I've never used it in any application).
