Yeah, he left github. Maybe you'll get it through shine, which uses tvm. https://github.com/richardhundt/shine
Or I'll upload a fork.

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThanks for pointing that out. I was going to ask why it appears to have stalled a year ago, but I guess the author got distracted by something shiny:
https://github.com/richardhundt/shine
Shine appears to address a similar need as the luv "ray" branch, _without_ libuv, with a modified version of LuaJIT[1]. I wonder if the author plans to patch LuaJIT upstream?
A recent HN discussion[2] left me wondering where to look for a high-quality well-maintained lua "stdlib". luvit appears to be an entire distribution with its own package manager instead of luarocks/moonrocks. I'm now looking at luv and luajit-libuv. shine looks like a very interesting alternative, but the modified LuaJIT makes it problematic for deploying to users who want to use system-provided LuaJIT.
