Parrotting Mike Pall: having 64 bits integers require 128 bits for representing Lua values.

I remember Mike Acton said something like site had serious technical issues or whatever and since then it's dead.

I must admit, for me the most relevant information was google using the computers mike through chrome.

San Franciscans have the same problem Mike Huckabee has: they're naive.

I was at the OpenAir conference this year where Mike Krieger mentioned the above story.

There are probably still parts of it that only Mike understands, I guess we will see how much in the next months.

Wonder what Mike Pall will be up to next...

Can anyone actually fill Mike Pall's shoes?

On the negative side, Mike Pall is an impressive individual who has contributed a lot to the field of JIT-compiled languages, so losing him is obviously bad for the project.

And we get to watch as Mike Arrington and Tim O'Reilly force Google, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft, and Facebook to play chicken, a spectacle which will sell a few banner ads.

This is a good initiative because LuaJIT development has been mostly halted since May 2014, when the following note was added to the LuaJIT Open Sponsorships page: "The main LuaJIT author (Mike Pall) is working on unrelated projects and cannot accept new sponsorships at this time..." [1] Since then, Mike has only made bugfix commits to the project.

Mike Pall is an international treasure whose work on LuaJIT has been without parallel in the embedded/gaming world.

Mike Tyson also spoke that before his matches, most of his opponents were already defeated.

Adding support for 5.3's integer subtype is probably going to be a very large project, I would guess that annoyed Mike.
