Hi Ranier.

The Fibonacci test was chosen because it was the first that came to my mind, I took it from PIL. But yeah it seems not fair to compare Lua 5.4 with LuaJIT in the conclusion.

I also had to use `repeat until` because Lua didn't have for loops until version 4.0.  

What benchmark example do you suggest instead?

2. Lua Infographics

A collection of charts and infographics about Lua such as:

- Lua libraries names, dependencies and pureness.

- Lua activity and popularity.

- Lua speed benchmarks (From 1.0 to 5.4.1).

I don't think fibonacci is a good test for benchmarks, with dynamic languages like Lua.
LuaJIT, like C, has the ability at compile time, to process and save the block result:
repeat
fact (16)
i = i + 1
until i> = 100000
So, like C, it only takes 0.01s to get the result.
