Ravi (a Lua dialect) 1.0 Beta-8 Release with JIT/AOT compilation support

[dibyendumajumdar]

Ravi (http://ravilang.org) is a dialect of Lua with a JIT backend and limited optional static typing. I am pleased to announce that the 1.0 Beta-8 release of Ravi is now available.

The main highlights of this release are:

• Bug fixes
• Preview release of new compiler framework for JIT/AOT compilation (https://the-ravi-programming-language.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ravi-compiler.html)
• A new experimental feature of the new compiler framework is to allow embedding snippets of C code. For details see https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/ravi-compiler/wiki/Embedding-C. This is an early alpha quality feature.

For general information regarding Ravi please visit:

A distribution of Ravi with a small set of libraries is available at:

All feedback welcome!

Thanks and Regards
Dibyendu
