Even LuaJIT is too slow compared to the real dotnet! #423

I suggest adding the feature to translate Lua code to C/C++ to utilize a C/C++ compiler to get the native binary. This will speed thing up.

What exactly is your use case? You talk about using C/C++ so it seems to me that you're not forced to use lua. In that case wouldn't it be easier to find a transpiler that transpiles C# directly to C/C++ instead of first transpiling C# to lua then transpiling that to C/C++?

Such a thing available?

Run .NET program where a .NET runtime is not available.

@2dpdlja496or43iq Try something like Nelua.

@yanghuan .NET NativeAOT is a thing as well (formerly known as CoreRT): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/native-aot/
