Omg, I literally have no words for this.
Does this mean we can write Luau code about as fast as native C/C++ would be?
Because this would be a huuuuge game changer then.
You could re-implement certain Roblox features and write them however you want.
Don’t like Roblox’ current physics engine with all of it’s quirks?
Write your own!
If native Luau is going to be about as fast as C++ then performance no longer should be an issue.
Want your own pathfinding algorithm that’s more customized and fitted for your own needs?
Just write your own.
Want to do machine learning with neural networks on the CPU?
Normally this would be hella slow in a interpreted language.
BUUUUUT, if native Luau is as fast as C++ would be then this wouldn’t be an issue combined with parallel Luau to distribute the load.
This is amazing.
