It looks like the thesis has been completed, the paper has been
published, and that's it.

I also think that luaproc approach is _really_ promising. I would be
interested in having Roberto's position on this.  Does he consider it
a one-shot student work?  Or, at the other end of the spectrum, are
there minions in the Lua secret labs working on a future "parallel
programming" addition to Lua 5.4?  :-)
