Javascript engines certainly have the best marketing going for them :) But Lua is a much simpler language and its much easier to write a JIT compiler for it than Javascript.

And if it comes to quality of programmers, LuaJIT has Mike Pall which is a bit of a legend for those who heard of him.

Which means LuaJIT suffers from Bus factor syndrome.
