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-5 release of Ravi is now available.
The main highlights of this release are:
* Bug fixes to the Generational GC back-ported from Lua 5.4
* Support for LLVM has been removed in favour of the Lightweight MIR JIT backend
* Various updates to MIR JIT backend
* Ravi is now being tested on X86-64 and ARM64 architectures
* There is an experimental new compiler for Ravi that is available as
a preview only. More details of this new compiler can be found at:
https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/ravi-compiler.
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
