Oof. My general principle is "sending AI-authored prose to another human without at least editing it is rude". Getting an AI-generated message from someone at all feels rude to me,…

We need to develop new etiquette around submitting AI-generated code for review. Using AI for code generation is one thing, but asking other people review something that you neithe…

I expect this is / was a very common problem for people porting 32-bit game code to newer compilers. I work on a fairly old codebase that forces use of x87 for a handful of code pa…

> Speaking of script state serialisation, is there any improvement to the size of those when being stored/transferred. They're about the same as before, they weren't terribly large…

>How do you plan on migrating data from Mono's VM to Luau? It helps a lot that you're only dealing with LSL that was compiled to .NET CIL by a single compiler and transformed into …

I'm the contractor responsible for SL's Luau VM integration, appreciate the kind words about the Luau integration! We're still in figuring out our async strategy for user-facing AP…

One thing that was immediately apparent upon switching VMs was that a lot of the existing overhead was in scheduling, context switching and the implementation of the actual library…

Agreed. I think an underappreciated aspect of choosing a script VM in the space Roblox is in (user-generated content where scripts are content) your product is at the mercy of whoe…

To be fair, both `Analysis` (the type-checker, not necessary at runtime or compile time) and `CodeGen` (the optional JIT engine) have no equivalent in PUC-Rio Lua. If you look pure…

I wasn't aware that single-file Java without a top-level static class was possible now, that + JBang seems quite useful for small tasks. One nit: > Python programmers often use ad-…

There's at least one more to add to the pile, Google's Fuchsia is primarily written in Rust and aims to support the Linux ABI through "starnix". See https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src…

>> the VM assumes that the bytecode was generated by the Luau compiler (which never produces invalid/unsafe bytecode) Yep, to that end they also have a basic bytecode verifier (onl…

Any upstreaming was unlikely to ever be acceptable to the PUC-Rio folks. PUC-Rio Lua uses C (with a tiny bit of C++ for stack unwinding on errors if folks don't want to use `longjm…
