[Screeninvader] Using luajit to bundle Lua bytecode, instead of objcopy/otool ..

[phaer]

Hi,

I did not really investigate different lua frameworks, but tried 
(and succeeded) to find a quick and dirty way to open a websocket
to janosh without writing too much cpp. A small POC on top of [1]
is on the lounge ScreenInvader.
The general idea was simply to open a socket so that the JS client 
could talk directly to Janosh, because there isn't any form of
access control anyway.

I don't have a strong opinion on luvit or similar frameworks, but 
its usefulness depends on the question of what you'd like to
implement on the server side. For my ideas, something like [2]
seems to be sufficent.

Using luajit to generate header files looks like a good idea to me.
objcopy, on the other hand, is a part of GNU binutils which are quite
common dev dependencies.

I mistakenly sent this email using an address which is not 
subscribed to this list at first, so it's in the moderation queue,
sorry.
