When they had the Luau beta regions up and running I gave it a whirl and it seemed performance was greatly improved over the old Mono system. Clicking "Save" was near instant to execute, great improvement to clicking save and waiting 10 seconds to know whether or not there's an issue in your script.
The only desire I have is if they could adopt FiveM-style helper functions which help wrap coroutines, namely being CreateThread(fn) and Wait(ms) (wrapper around yield inside that "thread") and Await/Promises (seems like someone already made an implementation for Luau? https://github.com/evaera/roblox-lua-promise)
FiveM adopting these makes it easy to make better performing scripts without having to mangle coroutines, which is vital given the Lua VM has to finish its current task before the frame is allowed to render.
