There is a general architecture question to be answered, I suppose - but if all that is needed is for a socket to talk to the front-end, then I guess luvit would be overload.

If Penlight gives us all we need, then no need to consider this question further.

True, but it just seems cleaner to me to be using luajit to properly bundle byte code onboard, rather than injecting directly into the executable - plus this gives a chance to catch any bugs in the code before packaging.


I’ve been trying to get Janosh built on Darwin (OSX10.10.2) .. The wider portability issue I have now is the fact that I can’t build Janosh with clang - when we use g++-4.8 (after some minor mixups) we end up having problems linking, because everything in home-brew is built with clang, and this means kyotocabinet and boost are unlinkable ..
