I also agree that it’s unlikely that you’ll derive performance benefits by switching language, it’s almost certainly down to your coding practices.

Here is a good thread with some neat tricks:

> Luajit projects useful for learning interop: UFO Excellent examples of luajit ffi Lua for Windows: A huge array of interop libraries for windows. You can make almost any application using these. These projects provide a huge array of samples and libraries for people to learn Lua and Luajit with. Highly recommended to new Lua users.

Generally speaking though I think a lot of benefit will come from practice. Start using the profiler if you aren’t already!
