Hi All,

After much work, I've finally tagged the first release of Fengari.
Fengari 0.1.0 is now available for download from github and npm.

What is Fengari?
It's the Lua VM ported to JavaScript, but reusing JavaScript's garbage
collector.

Why should you care?
  - With fengari-web you can start using Lua to write front-end code
for websites instead of Javascript
  - Calling between Lua and Javascript is easy! Mix Lua and Javascript code
  - You can take advantage of the whole JavaScript ecosystem, including:
      - Mobile app development toolkits
      - Electron applications
      - Game engines scriptable in JS
  - You can create new lua_States client side for running sandboxed user code
    Include working code samples in your Lua docs/tutorials!

More info can be found on the project website: https://fengari.io/
The website also has a REPL right there on the page, give it a go :)

Regards,
Daurn
