Upgrade Lua to 5.2 or LuaJIT #2452
Comments
You should bring this up at osa1/hslua. +++ Raphael Cohn [Oct 15 15 04:46 ]:

Looks like the existing Haskell bindings are going to stay with Lua 5.1 for the time being: hslua/hslua#5. That said, it seems to be possible to compile hslua to use a system-wide LuaJIT (indeed, their examples actually show using it with pandoc)! I'll take a look at modifying the Homebrew recipe for Mac to see if it's feasible. |

It'd would be very useful to able to use Lua 5.2 (or the recently release 5.3) to write Lua writers (sic) in. There are minor compatibility changes, but these shouldn't be issues for nearly all scripts.
More valuable, though, would be to allow the use of LuaJIT. This lets authors of Lua writers ship code that calls C APIs without any need to build and dynamically link libraries. For instance, one could ship a Lua writer with a built in binding to libjpeg to do on-the-fly jpeg munging.
