It'll never compare to other languages that are data-oriented and data-parallel friendly, like your old school imperative languages such as C, C++, or functional languages like Scala or F#.

LuaJIT and Lua/LLVM still using those god damn look-up tables in the JITed code.

Your idea of ``FAST AS VIRGIN FUCK'' is incorrect, as Lua is no longer a virgin, but rather a two-time whore who can't even find anyone willing to pay her $5 for a blowjob.
