Lua Optimised

The Lua Optimised benchmark was run using Lua 5.3.

However, I wrote it with LuaJIT in mind, which is actually somewhere between Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2, and one of the fastest JIT compilers. Most real-world code written for Lua, tends to be either written for, or compatible with, LuaJIT, because of the performance.

I would expect a bit of a time difference to result. Probably preferring LuaJIT and bumping it a few implementations up the rungs.

@shakna-israel yeah, I am currently using brew to install the compilers. @OvermindDL1 recommended to use asdf instead. I am working on a docker image that installs all the latest versions and I will make sure LuaJIT is used instead.

Sure! Just making sure some differences get noted. The differences between Lua versions can throw some people.
