@ -21,3 +21,5 @@ Impotent is still work-in-progress:
Impotent requires C11 and an architecture with 8-byte atomic operations, but otherwise it is completely cross-platform.
Performance-wise, it's surprisingly competitive with PoC Lua, considering how quickly it was made up to the point of writing this README (~2 weeks). By far the worst bottleneck is the GC, since it requires all threads and their heaps to synchronize.
Certain Lua idioms become impossible under Impotent. For example the idiom of appending to tables (`t[#t + 1] = x`) isn't atomic, therefore `table.insert` should be used instead.
