TvmJIT is a hack around [LuaJIT](http://luajit.org/).

The goal is a more generic VM which could be used for various dynamic languages.
tVM stands for Table Virtual Machine, `table` is the main structure type
in [Lua](http://www.lua.org/).

Main differences with LuaJIT :

- the TP (Table Processing) language uses
the [S-expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-expression) syntax (but the semantic still Lua)
- an almost comprehensive test suite
(using [TAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) format)

A Lua interpreter is built over TvmJIT, and it could use libraries like
[LPeg](http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/)
and [lua-linenoise](https://github.com/hoelzro/lua-linenoise).

TvmJIT is already used by [Shine](https://github.com/richardhundt/shine).
