Re: Who is using modified Lua versions, what are they and why?

I am using 5.1, building it myself, not using bundled in Makefile. I also
took
change from 5.2 that reduces table memory a little (my blog post if anyone
wants to read some of it https://frex.github.io/lua/smallertable51.html ),
and
consider making more changes, but keeping them all compatible with 5.1.
I appreciate Lua being just a pile of C that is compatible and easy to keep
and compile inside your projects forever, while for language like Python
I once needed to build 2.7 for something and couldn't due to all the deps.
