set_hook not available with luau feature?

[jqnatividad]

First off @khvzak, thanks for this wonderful crate and supporting luau!

However, I'm trying to use debugging with Luau but it seems set_hook is not available with the luau feature.

I noticed that hook.rs is not compiled with the luau feature, so is there an alternative way to do debugging with Luau?

[khvzak]

set_hook indeed is not available for Luau, because Luau (for performance reasons) does not support it :)
More details here: https://luau-lang.org/performance#epsilon-overhead-debugger

Instead, mlua supports interrupts which is Luau only feature, similar to hooks.
Currently callback function does not has &Lua argument but I plan to add it on the v0.9 release.

Awesome, I'll experiment with interrupts and see if it works for my project!

And I'm looking forward to 0.9!

BTW, do you have a rough ETA for it?
