Description

see: https://github.com/CppCXY/lua-rs

The current project is a Lua 5.5 runtime implemented in Rust. The implementation is fairly complete, but performance still needs optimization, and there are quite a few deep-seated bugs that need to be fixed. I would welcome anyone interested to take a look or help me fix them.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked CppCXY/lua-rs repository and its Lua 5.5 runtime implementation. The issue identifies performance optimization and deep-seated bug fixing as goals but names no files, tests, or specific failure. Done would require improving runtime performance and resolving the relevant bugs.
