+# go-lua Architecture
+
+A guided tour of the Lua VM internals for Go developers.
+
+## The Big Picture
+
+go-lua is a from-scratch implementation of the Lua 5.3 virtual machine in pure Go. No CGo, no bindings - just Go code interpreting Lua bytecode.
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

+                                │

+                                ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                      VM Execution Loop                          │
+│            (fetch instruction → decode → execute)               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Compilation Pipeline
+
+When you call `lua.LoadString()` or `lua.LoadFile()`, here's what happens:
+
+```
+   Lua Source Code
+         │
+         ▼
+   ┌───────────┐
+   │  Scanner  │  scanner.go - tokenizes source into tokens
+   └───────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+   ┌───────────┐
+   │  Parser   │  parser.go - builds AST, validates syntax
+   └───────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+   ┌───────────┐
+   │   Code    │  code.go - generates bytecode instructions
+   │ Generator │
+   └───────────┘
+         │
+         ▼
+   ┌───────────┐
+   │ Prototype │  The compiled function (bytecode + metadata)
+   └───────────┘
+```
+
+**Important**: Lua compilation is single-pass. The parser and code generator work together - bytecode is emitted as the source is parsed. There's no separate AST data structure.
+
+## The Stack
+
+Everything in Lua revolves around the stack. If you understand the stack, you understand 80% of how Lua works.
+
+```go
+// In lua.go
+type State struct {
+    stack     []value    // The value stack
+    top       int        // First free slot
+    callInfo  *callInfo  // Current call frame
+    // ... more fields
+}
+```
+
+The stack holds all temporary values, function arguments, and return values:
+
+```
+Stack indices:
+
+  Positive (from bottom)     Negative (from top)
+
+       ┌─────────┐
+    5  │  arg2   │  -1  (top of stack)
+       ├─────────┤
+    4  │  arg1   │  -2
+       ├─────────┤
+    3  │  func   │  -3
+       ├─────────┤
+    2  │  local2 │  -4
+       ├─────────┤
+    1  │  local1 │  -5
+       └─────────┘
+```
+
+When you call `l.PushString("hello")`, it goes onto the stack. When you call `l.ToString(-1)`, you're reading the top element.
+
+### Stack Operations
+
+```go
+// Push values onto the stack
+l.PushNil()
+l.PushBoolean(true)
+l.PushInteger(42)
+l.PushNumber(3.14)
+l.PushString("hello")
+
+// Read values from the stack
+s, _ := l.ToString(-1)   // Read top as string
+n, _ := l.ToNumber(-2)   // Read second from top as number
+l.ToBoolean(1)           // Read first element as boolean
+
+// Stack manipulation
+l.Pop(2)                 // Remove top 2 elements
+l.PushValue(-1)          // Duplicate top element
+l.Remove(3)              // Remove element at index 3
+```
+
+## Values and Types
+
+Lua is dynamically typed. The `value` type in Go is just `interface{}`:
+
+```go
+// In types.go
+type value interface{}
+```
+
+Here's how Lua types map to Go:
+
+| Lua Type       | Go Representation             |
+| -------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| nil            | `nil`                         |
+| boolean        | `bool`                        |
+| integer        | `int64`                       |
+| number (float) | `float64`                     |
+| string         | `string`                      |
+| table          | `*table`                      |
+| function       | `*luaClosure` or `*goClosure` |
+| userdata       | `*userData`                   |
+
+### The Integer/Float Distinction (Lua 5.3)
+
+Lua 5.3 introduced proper integers. The VM tracks whether a number is `int64` or `float64`:
+
+```go
+// In types.go
+func toInteger(v value) (int64, bool) {
+    switch n := v.(type) {
+    case int64:
+        return n, true
+    case float64:
+        // Only convert if it's a whole number in range
+        if i := int64(n); float64(i) == n {
+            return i, true
+        }
+    }
+    return 0, false
+}
+```
+
+This matters for bitwise operations (integers only) and the `//` operator (integer division).
+
+## Tables
+
+Tables are Lua's only data structure - they're used for arrays, dictionaries, objects, modules, and namespaces.
+
+```go
+// In table.go
+type table struct {
+    array     []value           // Integer keys 1..n
+    hash      map[value]value   // Everything else
+    metaTable *table            // For operator overloading
+}
+```
+
+The implementation uses a hybrid approach:
+- **Array part**: For consecutive integer keys starting at 1
+- **Hash part**: For everything else (strings, non-consecutive numbers, etc.)
+
+```lua
+-- In Lua:
+t = {10, 20, 30, name = "test"}
+
+-- Internal representation:
+-- array: [10, 20, 30]
+-- hash:  {"name" -> "test"}
+```
+
+### Table Access from Go
+
+```go
+l.NewTable()              // Push empty table
+l.SetField(-1, "key")     // t.key = (top of stack)
+l.Field(-1, "key")        // Push t.key onto stack
+l.RawSetInt(-1, 1)        // t[1] = (top of stack), no metamethods
+```
+
+## Closures and Upvalues
+
+This is where it gets interesting. A closure is a function plus its captured variables (upvalues).
+
+```lua
+function counter()
+    local count = 0           -- This is captured
+    return function()
+        count = count + 1     -- Accessing upvalue
+        return count
+    end
+end
+
+local c = counter()
+print(c())  -- 1
+print(c())  -- 2
+```
+
+In Go:
+
+```go
+// In stack.go
+type luaClosure struct {
+    prototype *prototype    // The bytecode
+    upValues  []*upValue    // Captured variables
+}
+
+type upValue struct {
+    home interface{}  // Either stackLocation or the value itself
+}
+
+type stackLocation struct {
+    state *State
+    index int
+}
+```
+
+**The clever bit**: While the outer function is still running, the upvalue points to a stack slot (`stackLocation`). When the outer function returns, the upvalue is "closed" - the value is copied into the upValue struct itself.
+
+```
+Before outer function returns:        After outer function returns:
+
+upValue.home ──► stackLocation        upValue.home ──► value (42)
+                    │
+                    ▼                 (stack slot is gone)
+              stack[index] = 42
+```
+
+## The VM Execution Loop
+
+The heart of the interpreter is in `vm.go`. It's a big switch statement over opcodes:
+
+```go
+// Simplified from vm.go
+func (l *State) execute() {
+    ci := l.callInfo
+    frame := ci.frame  // Current stack frame
+
+    for {
+        i := ci.step()  // Fetch next instruction
+
+        switch i.opCode() {
+        case opMove:
+            frame[i.a()] = frame[i.b()]
+
+        case opLoadConstant:
+            frame[i.a()] = constants[i.bx()]
+
+        case opAdd:
+            // Get operands, possibly from constants
+            b := frame[i.b()] or constants[i.b()]
+            c := frame[i.c()] or constants[i.c()]
+            frame[i.a()] = add(b, c)
+
+        case opCall:
+            // Set up new call frame, recurse or call Go function
+
+        case opReturn:
+            // Pop call frame, copy results
+            return
+
+        // ... 40+ more opcodes
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Instructions
+
+Each instruction is a 32-bit integer packed with opcode and operands:
+
+```
+┌────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┐
+│ opcode │   A    │   B    │   C    │  (ABC format)
+│ 6 bits │ 8 bits │ 9 bits │ 9 bits │
+└────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
+
+┌────────┬────────┬─────────────────┐
+│ opcode │   A    │       Bx        │  (ABx format)
+│ 6 bits │ 8 bits │     18 bits     │
+└────────┴────────┴─────────────────┘
+```
+
+See `instructions.go` for the encoding/decoding.
+
+## Call Frames
+
+Each function call gets a `callInfo` struct:
+
+```go
+// In stack.go
+type callInfo struct {
+    function    int         // Stack index of the function
+    top         int         // Top of this frame's stack
+    resultCount int         // Expected number of results
+    previous    *callInfo   // Linked list of frames
+    next        *callInfo
+    *luaCallInfo            // For Lua functions
+    *goCallInfo             // For Go functions
+}
+
+type luaCallInfo struct {
+    frame   []value       // Slice into the main stack
+    savedPC pc            // Current instruction pointer
+    code    []instruction // Bytecode
+}
+```
+
+When you call a function:
+1. Arguments are already on the stack
+2. A new `callInfo` is created
+3. `frame` is set to a slice of the stack for this call
+4. The VM executes until `opReturn`
+5. Results are copied to where the caller expects them
+6. `callInfo` is popped
+
+## Go ↔ Lua Interop
+
+### Calling Go from Lua
+
+Register a Go function:
+
+```go
+l.Register("greet", func(l *lua.State) int {
+    name := lua.CheckString(l, 1)  // Get first argument
+    l.PushString("Hello, " + name + "!")
+    return 1  // Number of return values
+})
+```
+
+Go functions receive arguments on the stack and push return values. The return value of the Go function tells Lua how many values to pop as results.
+
+### Calling Lua from Go
+
+```go
+l.Global("myfunction")    // Push the function
+l.PushInteger(42)         // Push argument
+l.Call(1, 1)              // 1 arg, 1 result
+result, _ := l.ToInteger(-1)
+l.Pop(1)
+```
+
+## Metatables and Metamethods
+
+Metatables enable operator overloading and custom behavior. When the VM encounters an operation, it checks for metamethods:
+
+```go
+// Simplified from vm.go
+func (l *State) add(a, b value) value {
+    // Try normal addition first
+    if na, nb, ok := pairAsNumbers(a, b); ok {
+        return na + nb
+    }
+    // Fall back to metamethod
+    if tm := l.tagMethodByObject(a, tmAdd); tm != nil {
+        return l.callMetamethod(tm, a, b)
+    }
+    if tm := l.tagMethodByObject(b, tmAdd); tm != nil {
+        return l.callMetamethod(tm, a, b)
+    }
+    l.typeError(a, "perform arithmetic on")
+}
+```
+
+Common metamethods:
+- `__add`, `__sub`, `__mul`, `__div` - arithmetic
+- `__index` - table access (reading)
+- `__newindex` - table access (writing)
+- `__call` - calling as a function
+- `__tostring` - string conversion
+
+## Memory Management
+
+Here's the easy part: **Go's garbage collector handles everything**.
+
+Unlike C Lua, which has its own GC, go-lua just allocates Go objects. When they're no longer referenced, Go cleans them up. This is why weak tables aren't supported - Go doesn't expose weak references.

+
+## Performance Notes
+
+go-lua is roughly 6-10x slower than C Lua. This is typical for pure Go interpreters:
+
+- **No JIT**: Everything is interpreted
+- **Interface dispatch**: Using `value interface{}` means type switches everywhere
+- **Go's switch**: Not as optimized as computed gotos in C
+- **Debug hooks**: Always enabled, even when not used
+
+For configuration files and light scripting, this is perfectly fine. For heavy computation, consider calling optimized Go code from Lua.

-A Lua VM in pure Go
-===================
+A Lua 5.4 VM in pure Go — no CGo, no dependencies.
 
-go-lua is a port of the Lua 5.2 VM to pure Go. It is compatible with binary files dumped by `luac`, from the [Lua reference implementation](http://www.lua.org/).
+This is a fork of [Shopify/go-lua](https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua), upgraded from Lua 5.3 to **Lua 5.4**.
 
-The motivation is to enable simple scripting of Go applications. For example, it is used to describe flows in [Shopify's](http://www.shopify.com/) load generation tool, Genghis.
+## What's new compared to Shopify/go-lua?
 
-Usage

-go-lua is intended to be used as a Go package. It does not include a command to run the interpreter. To start using the library, run:
-```sh
-go get github.com/Shopify/go-lua
-```
+## Getting started
 
-To develop & test go-lua, you'll also need the [lua-tests](https://github.com/Shopify/lua-tests) submodule checked out:
 ```sh
-git submodule update --init
+go get github.com/speedata/go-lua
 ```
 
-You can then develop with the usual Go commands, e.g.:
-```sh
-go build
-go test -cover
-```
+A minimal example:
 
-A simple example that loads & runs a Lua script is:
 ```go
 package main
 
-import "github.com/Shopify/go-lua"
+import "github.com/speedata/go-lua"
 
 func main() {
-  l := lua.NewState()
-  lua.OpenLibraries(l)
-  if err := lua.DoFile(l, "hello.lua"); err != nil {
-    panic(err)
-  }
+    l := lua.NewState()
+    lua.OpenLibraries(l)
+    if err := lua.DoFile(l, "hello.lua"); err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
 }
 ```
 
-Status
-------
+### Calling Lua from Go
 
-go-lua has been used in production in Shopify's load generation tool, Genghis, since May 2014, and is also part of Shopify's resiliency tooling.
+```go
+l := lua.NewState()
+lua.OpenLibraries(l)
 
-The core VM and compiler has been ported and tested. The compiler is able to correctly process all Lua source files from the [Lua test suite](https://github.com/Shopify/lua-tests). The VM has been tested to correctly execute over a third of the Lua test cases.
+lua.DoString(l, `
+    function greet(name)
+        return "Hello, " .. name .. "!"
+    end
+`)
 
-Most core Lua libraries are at least partially implemented. Prominent exceptions are regular expressions, coroutines and `string.dump`.
+l.Global("greet")
+l.PushString("World")
+l.Call(1, 1)
+result, _ := l.ToString(-1)
+fmt.Println(result) // Hello, World!
+```
 
-Weak reference tables are not and will not be supported. go-lua uses the Go heap for Lua objects, and Go does not support weak references.
+### Registering Go functions in Lua
 
-Benchmarks
-----------
+```go
+l := lua.NewState()
+lua.OpenLibraries(l)
 
-Benchmark results shown here are taken from a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina with a 2.6 GHz Core i7 CPU running OS X 10.10.2, go 1.4.2 and Lua 5.2.2.
+l.Register("add", func(l *lua.State) int {
+    a := lua.CheckNumber(l, 1)
+    b := lua.CheckNumber(l, 2)
+    l.PushNumber(a + b)
+    return 1
+})
 
-The Fibonacci function can be written a few different ways to evaluate different performance characteristics of a language interpreter. The simplest way is as a recursive function:
-```lua
-  function fib(n)
-    if n == 0 then
-      return 0
-    elseif n == 1 then
-      return 1
-    end
-    return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
-  end
+lua.DoString(l, `print(add(2, 3))`) // 5
 ```
 
-This exercises the call stack implementation. When computing `fib(35)`, go-lua is about 6x slower than the C Lua interpreter. [Gopher-lua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua) is about 20% faster than go-lua. Much of the performance difference between go-lua and gopher-lua comes from the inclusion of debug hooks in go-lua. The remainder is due to the call stack implementation - go-lua heap-allocates Lua stack frames with a separately allocated variant struct, as outlined above. Although it caches recently used stack frames, it is outperformed by the simpler statically allocated call stacks in gopher-lua.
-```
-  $ time lua fibr.lua
-  real  0m2.807s
-  user  0m2.795s
-  sys   0m0.006s
-  
-  $ time glua fibr.lua
-  real  0m14.528s
-  user  0m14.513s

-  $ time go-lua fibr.lua
-  real  0m17.411s
-  user  0m17.514s
-  sys   0m1.287s

+## Test suite status
+
+We run the official Lua 5.4 test suites. Currently **21 out of 25** pass:
+
+| Test | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| bitwise | Pass | |
+| calls | Pass | |
+| closure | Pass | |
+| code | Pass | |
+| constructs | Pass | |
+| coroutine | Pass | |
+| db (debug) | Pass | |
+| errors | Pass | |
+| events | Pass | |
+| files | Pass | |
+| goto | Pass | |
+| literals | Pass | |
+| locals | Pass | |
+| math | Pass | |
+| nextvar | Pass | |
+| pm (pattern matching) | Pass | |
+| sort | Pass | |
+| strings | Pass | |
+| tpack (string.pack) | Pass | |
+| utf8 | Pass | |
+| vararg | Pass | |
+| attrib | — | Needs weak references |
+| gc | — | Go's GC, not controllable like Lua's |
+| big | — | Tables with >2^18 elements |
+| main | — | Requires standalone Lua binary |
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **No weak references** — `__mode` on metatables is not supported (Go's GC doesn't offer that hook)
+- **No C API** — pure Go, so C Lua libraries won't work (that's kind of the point though)
+
+## Development
 
-The recursive Fibonacci function can be transformed into a tail-recursive variant:
-```lua
-  function fibt(n0, n1, c)
-    if c == 0 then
-      return n0
-    else if c == 1 then
-      return n1
-    end
-    return fibt(n1, n0+n1, c-1)
-  end
-  
-  function fib(n)
-    fibt(0, 1, n)
-  end
-```
-
-The Lua interpreter detects and optimizes tail calls. This exhibits similar relative performance between the 3 interpreters, though gopher-lua edges ahead a little due to its simpler stack model and reduced bookkeeping.
-```
-  $ time lua fibt.lua
-  real  0m0.099s
-  user  0m0.096s
-  sys   0m0.002s
-
-  $ time glua fibt.lua
-  real  0m0.489s
-  user  0m0.484s
-  sys   0m0.005s
-
-  $ time go-lua fibt.lua
-  real  0m0.607s
-  user  0m0.610s
-  sys   0m0.068s
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/speedata/go-lua.git
+go build ./...
+go test ./...
 ```
 
-Finally, we can write an explicitly iterative implementation:
-```lua
-  function fib(n)
-    if n == 0 then
-      return 0
-    else if n == 1 then
-      return 1
-    end
-    local n0, n1 = 0, 1
-    for i = n, 2, -1 do
-      local tmp = n0 + n1
-      n0 = n1
-      n1 = tmp
-    end
-    return n1
-  end
-```
+Some tests optionally use `luac` 5.4 for compiling Lua source to bytecode. If it's not in your PATH, those tests get skipped automatically.
 
-This exercises more of the bytecode interpreter’s inner loop. Here we see the performance impact of Go’s `switch` implementation. Both go-lua and gopher-lua are an order of magnitude slower than the C Lua interpreter.
-```
-  $ time lua fibi.lua
-  real  0m0.023s
-  user  0m0.020s
-  sys   0m0.003s
-
-  $ time glua fibi.lua
-  real  0m0.242s
-  user  0m0.235s
-  sys   0m0.005s
-
-  $ time go-lua fibi.lua
-  real  0m0.242s
-  user  0m0.240s
-  sys   0m0.028s
-```

+# Benchmarks: go-lua vs. C-Lua 5.3
+
+Simple benchmarks to compare go-lua performance against the reference C implementation of Lua 5.3.
+
+## Lua scripts
+
+| Script       | What it measures                                      |
+|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
+| `fib.lua`    | Recursive Fibonacci — function call overhead          |
+| `loop.lua`   | Tight arithmetic loop (10M iterations) — VM dispatch  |
+| `table.lua`  | Array insert/read (1M), hash insert/iterate (500k)    |
+| `string.lua` | table.concat (100k), string.gmatch pattern matching   |
+| `sort.lua`   | table.sort on 500k random integers                    |
+
+## Running the benchmarks
+
+### go-lua
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks
+go run . .
+```
+
+Or build and run:
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks
+go build -o run-benchmarks .
+./run-benchmarks .
+```
+
+### C-Lua 5.3 (for comparison)
+
+```bash
+for f in benchmarks/*.lua; do
+  echo "--- $(basename $f) ---"
+  lua5.3 "$f"
+  echo
+done
+```
+
+## Results
+
+Measured on Apple M4, macOS, Go 1.24, Lua 5.3.6.
+
+| Benchmark   | C-Lua 5.3 | go-lua  | Factor |
+|-------------|-----------|---------|--------|
+| fib(35)     | 0.42 s    | 1.02 s  | ~2.4x  |
+| loop 10M    | 0.05 s    | 0.39 s  | ~8x    |
+| table       | 0.22 s    | 0.63 s  | ~3x    |
+| string      | 0.02 s    | 0.05 s  | ~2.5x  |
+| sort 500k   | 0.11 s    | 0.57 s  | ~5x    |
+
+go-lua is roughly **2-8x** slower than C-Lua 5.3, which is expected for a pure Go implementation. The overhead comes mainly from Go interface dispatch, bounds checking, and garbage collection differences.
