Authors

The luajr package bundles the LuaJIT compiler by Mike Pall (with portions by the authors of Lua) and an R package wrapper by Nick Davies. It also bundles the debugger.lua Lua debugger by Scott Lembcke and Howling Moon Software. Therefore, in order of contribution, the authors of luajr are:

  • Mike Pall. Author, copyright holder.
    Author of the embedded LuaJIT compiler

  • Lua.org, PUC-Rio. Copyright holder.
    Copyright holders over portions of Lua source code included in LuaJIT

  • Nicholas Davies. Maintainer, contributor, copyright holder.
    Author of the R package wrapper

  • Scott Lembcke, Howling Moon Software. Contributor, copyright holder.
    Authors of the embedded debugger.lua debugger

Please give credit to Mike Pall and the Lua authors, and to Scott Lembcke and Howling Moon Software for the debugger, but direct all your luajr questions to the package maintainer!
