I just want to add my 2 cents to the discussion. Officially Neovim supports only Lua 5.1 as its extension language according to the manual (`:h lua-intro`):The Lua 5.1 language is builtin and always available.Using LuaJIT allows the use of some extensions to Lua 5.1, but plugins relying on this functionality are strictly speaking non-portable because not all users might have them. I don't know if it is possible with Guix, but the ideal solution would be to use LuaJIT where available and fall back on Lua 5.1 otherwise.
Yes, I believe that this would be possible, but based on what Efraim says it may not even be needed.

(Last I checked) Debian has a patch to replace powerpc support with 64-bit ppc support. I'd go ahead with the change if that's the direction that neovim is going and let the powerpc64le people decide between using lua5.1 or just removing lua support on a per-architecture basis for ppc64le.
That does sound promising. Therefore, I've proposed switching to luajit in #48109 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48109 Thanks for your replies! Jack
