+# Impotent
+
+This is an attempt to create a Lua virtual machine capable of true multithreading. Once the nctref compiler matures enough, I intend to plug it into Impotent as a JIT.
+
+Impotent is still work-in-progress:
+
+1. Integers are 32-bit only
+2. No error handling, meaning any mistake will either crash the VM or make it silently fail
+3. No standard library other than `print`
+4. Tables cannot be resized
+5. Most operators are missing
+6. Integers and floats are always separate table keys (unlike real Lua where e.g. `5` and `5.0` are considered identical)
+7. The GC isn't real and everything leaks
