LuaJIT is a <b>Just-In-Time Compiler</b> (JIT) for the
<a href="http://www.lua.org/"><span class="ext">&raquo;</span>&nbsp;Lua</a> programming language.
Lua is a powerful, dynamic and light-weight programming language.
It may be embedded or used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.

LuaJIT has been successfully used as a <b>scripting middleware</b> in
games, appliances, network and graphics apps, numerical simulations,
trading platforms and many other specialty applications. It scales from
embedded devices, smartphones, desktops up to server farms. It combines
high flexibility with <a href="http://luajit.org/performance.html"><span class="ext">&raquo;</span>&nbsp;high performance</a>
and an unmatched <b>low memory footprint</b>.
</p>
<p>
LuaJIT has been in continuous development since 2005. It's widely
considered to be <b>one of the fastest dynamic language
implementations</b>. It has outperformed other dynamic languages on many
cross-language benchmarks since its first release &mdash; often by a
substantial margin.
</p>
<p>
For <b>LuaJIT 2.0</b>, the whole VM has been rewritten from the ground up
and relentlessly optimized for performance. It combines a <b>high-speed
interpreter</b>, written in assembler, with a <b>state-of-the-art JIT
compiler</b>.
</p>
<p>
An innovative <b>trace compiler</b> is integrated with advanced,
SSA-based optimizations and highly tuned code generation backends.
A substantial reduction of the overhead associated with dynamic languages
allows it to break into the performance range traditionally reserved for
offline, static language compilers.
