After using this to build moonjit git:

```
#! /bin/sh
#
# moonjit.sh
# Copyright (C) 2020 Shlomi Fish <shlomif@cpan.org>
#
# Distributed under terms of the MIT license.
#


make PREFIX="$HOME/apps/to-del-moonjit" all install
```

and this to build vim:

```
luajit_pref="$HOME/apps/to-del-moonjit"
PATH="$luajit_pref/bin:$PATH"
./configure \
--enable-fail-if-missing \
--enable-autoservername \
--enable-cscope \
--enable-fontset \
--enable-multibyte \
--enable-luainterp \
--enable-perlinterp \
--enable-pythoninterp=yes \
--enable-python3interp=yes \
--enable-rubyinterp \
--enable-tclinterp \
--with-tclsh=/usr/bin/tclsh \
--enable-gui=gtk3 \
--enable-terminal \
--enable-xim \
--with-x \
--with-luajit \
--with-lua-prefix="$luajit_pref" \
--with-features=huge

```

I got:

configure: error: could not configure lua [shlomif@telaviv1 vim-git]$
```

So my guess is that vim and moonjit are not compatible with each other.

YOu can try my fix at https://github.com/shlomif/vim/tree/lua-moonjit-support
(note the branch) which seems to work.

Sometimes you don't need to be familiar with a better alternative to know that
something sucks. Take Microsoft Word for example.
