Title
Pallene: A companion language for Lua
Abstract
•We present Pallene, a typed and ahead-of-time-compiled subset of Lua.•Pallene has a simple and portable implementation that is still very efficient.•Pallene is an order of magnitude faster than Lua and as fast as a JIT compiler.•Pallene may be specially useful for performance-sensitive Lua extension modules.•Run-time tag checking is not incompatible with efficient typed code.
