Lua 5.4.0 beta - Hackdot

Well, I'm not a big fan of JavaScript :) I like the direction ECMAScript is going. However, the clumsy things are going to stay because of backward compatibility.

Also, QuickJS is a good initiative, but I afraid it's not production-ready yet. It doesn't even have versioning and/or changelog.

The top of https://bellard.org/quickjs/ is the changelog and each release is versioned by date.

Nobody's a fan of the quirks of JS, but you can almost entirely ignore them and only use the good parts.

Well, I won't call "New release" / "New release" a changelog. It's simply not a log of changes.
