I'm working on integrating it as a dependency into my CMake build system version of Maratis. However, I haven't yet figured out how to build it properly except using the Makefiles included in LuaJIT.

Hi, technically it can be added, but it probably won't be faster.

LuaJIT is probably the fastest dynamic langage (the same lua we have now but with a Just-In-Time compiler).
There is plan to add it instead of the standard lua interpreter.

V8 JavaScript Engine ?

Can the V8 JavaScript be added to Maratis as a second scripting language and how fast would it be compared to Lua?
