cfr. http://luajit.org/
Maybe some day luatex will be jitluatex
but I don't see here a priority --- luajit is x86 specific for example.
My point of view is not so new COM .NET , "plug-in" all share the
same concept of dynamic loading
--- but the don't know the concept of typographical programming.
Parrot also knows dynamic loading, so that probably makes much more sense than some ad-hoc tethering of the two interpreters. If I understand the design of Parrot properly, then as soon as one language has defined an interface to LuaTeX, that interface will be usable in other languages on the VM.
