luamtev
libmtev takes Lua seriously. We're specific about supporting LuaJIT and while LuaJIT is a very powerful runtime, we felt we'd get more power by exposing the LuaJIT runtime via a standalone libmtev application; luamtev was born.
luamtev is a non-interactive interpreter for luacode. Unlike the normal LuaJIT interpreter, it only runs modules, but it first boots a comprehensive libmtev runtime and then runs the provided module within that runtime. This allows use of all of the advanced features of libmtev.
