Ravi (http://ravilang.org) is a dialect of Lua 5.3 with LLVM based JIT
compiler and limited optional static typing. I am pleased to announce
that the alpha 0.22 release of Ravi is now available.
This release is aligned with Lua 5.3.4.
The principal changes in this release are:
* Experimental support for additional type
annotations:(https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/ravi#experimental-type-annotations)
* Support for computed gotos in the interpreter
* Some performance related changes imported from latest Lua codebase
* In addition to the CMake build, there is now a Lua style Makefile
supplied as well; this can be used to quickly build an interpreter
only (no JIT) build of Ravi
