If Nvim ever ships with Lua 5.4+, a Lua 5.1 compatibility shim will be provided so that old plugins continue to work transparently. + *lua-luajit* +Neovim is built with luajit on platforms which support it, which provides +extra functionality. Lua code in |init.lua| and plugins can assume its presence +on installations on common platforms.
