LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
An umbrella issue has been opened to discuss syntax extensions for LuaJIT 3.0 and to consolidate related documentation. The discussion seeks constructive feedback on design, semantics, and documentation while emphasizing compatibility and tool support. The goal is to add only proven, non‑ambiguous extensions that improve developer experience without increasing language complexity.
- ▪The issue serves as a central place for proposals and documentation updates on LuaJIT 3.0 syntax extensions.
- ▪Feedback is encouraged to focus on functionality and avoid prolonged debates over cosmetic symbol choices.
- ▪Proposed extensions must improve developer quality‑of‑life, be proven in other languages, avoid ambiguities, preserve backward compatibility, and not hinder tooling.
- ▪The author explicitly states no intention to adopt the syntactic complexity of languages such as Perl, Ruby, C++ or Rust.
