Lunar brings a faster Lua 5.1 runtime to Go
Lunar leads the discussions today, a new embeddable Lua 5.1 VM for Go that its author claims beats the existing pure-Go implementations on both speed and memory in real workloads. Alongside it, Soppo is making the rounds as a pitch for "Go with the features it's missing" (enums, pattern matching, nil safety, ergonomic errors), which is the kind of thing that either intrigues you or makes you close the tab immediately. Eli Bendersky writes on closing speed for physics and game code, and a junior dev's self-destructing image host rounds out the Show-and-Tell corner.
