Do you know which of the listed packages are performance critical and might be relevant for mainframe workloads?

Stefan SF. had a brief look into LuaJIT and he couldn't find any important user:

- The torch project is not under active development anymore. The much more popular pytorch framework does not depend on luajit.
- Also luajit itself does not appear to be actively developed right now. However, there appear to be some forks which got more traction over the last months:

There also is a request to support LuaJIT for the microservices management platform istio (https://github.com/istio/istio). But it isn't clear whether LuaJIT support is a hard requirement here.
