I'm really not interested in "Lua now implemented in x", what Lua needs is the new Luajit finished with the advanced garbage collection.

Everyone scratches their own itch. There is value in multiple implementations when they explore different approaches. This just means either a "perfect answer" has not been found or that the journey itself is seen as worthwhile.
