I have, yes, it's great. No complaints, would choose LuaJIT again.
I do regret that the quad-color collector will likely never be implemented, I'd content myself with a back-port of the new generational collector, but the allocation sinking in LuaJIT has kept me out of trouble for the most part since it can put 'tables' on the stack if it can prove they don't escape.
