Thank you both for answers.
I have no idea about lua/luajit internals but i don't use `:` because i 
imagine that interpreter has to additionally follow metatable on every call.

Another reason is consistency. In my code i chose to not embed function 
references in short-living objects if i don't need abstraction for that. 
Instead of that, i am trying to do runtime ducktyping. I have no idea if 
it's gonna be good way for solving things, but so far, this style of 
coding works for my project.

So, it's my little experiment, and i find lua good language for 
experimenting.
