| [omr-dev] [ANN] Ravi (a Lua 5.3 dialect) Alpha Release 0.24 with LLVM and Eclipse OMR JIT compilation support |
Ravi (http://ravilang.org) is a dialect of Lua 5.3 with LLVM and Eclipse OMR based JIT compilers and limited optional static typing. I am pleased to announce that the alpha 0.24 release of Ravi is now available. Additionally, work is ongoing on creating a distribution of Ravi that includes high quality third-party libraries (https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/ravi-distro). This release is aligned with Lua 5.3.4. The main highlight of this release is that a new JIT backend based on [a customized version of Eclipse OMR](https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/nj) has been added. Note that this is in development and this is an early preview release.
