An experimental stackless Lua VM implemented in pure Rust
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:5 commits, 1 PR, 3 comments in 1 day
Contributions summary:Poga primarily focused on enhancing the functionality of the Lua VM. They implemented the `fmt::Display` trait for `FunctionProto` and `Gc` types, enabling bytecode dumping and debugging. Furthermore, the user introduced a command-line flag to dump the bytecode and refactored the code by moving the dumping functionality to the compiler binary. These changes indicate a focus on debugging, development experience, and compiler tooling.
