Re: Portable bytecode?

[bil til <biltil52@...>]

Did you think about including compression machine in your code?

This is also quite small available, if you are running in smaller
embedded systems.

And as Lua source files are ASCII, the compression will reduce
STRONGLY (you should expect to 10-20% of original size usually...).
This is much more efficient then Lua bytecode as I see it, if you want
to safe programming time.
