I would love it if Isaac included LuaJit and pypy in the benchmarks game, but ultimately I get it; it's just one guy's project, and he doesn't want to spend the time to maintain it across the entire incredible diversity of programming languages/implementations[1].

To a great extent any "language" benchmark (for languages that don't compile to efficient machine code) is certainly a benchmark of the language's standard library. I'm not sure there's a way around that reality. Are there external Lua libraries that allow shared-memory concurrency? If so, it's probably worth opening an issue asking whether those libraries could be allowed[2]; it might just be that nobody has submitted a program making use of Lua shared concurrency.
