LuaJIT is open source software and depends on your contributions! This may be in the form of bug reports, bug fixes and patches — see the status page for details. Another option is to financially support the project through corporate sponsorship.
Sponsorship Status for the x64 Port of LuaJIT 2.0

The x64 port is mostly complete now, please check the download page.
How to Become a Sponsor
Sponsorship is open to all companies worldwide. For various legal and administrative reasons I cannot accept funds from individuals. The basic idea is that your company finances the work on a particular feature of LuaJIT. Everyone gets a proper invoice, tax receipt, Rechnung or whatever it's called in your country. This can usually be deducted as a business expense if it's directly related to the needs of your business (but check with your tax advisor first).
In exchange for sponsoring the work on a feature, it's incorporated into LuaJIT and is available as open source under the same liberal license. Thus you get your favorite missing feature and everyone benefits, too. Some features need a lot of work and probably cannot be financed by one company alone (e.g. the x64 port). The intention of this page is to gather all interested parties to contribute to a sponsorship program.
