Hi,

I wrote back in March introducing Ravi, which I am developing as an extension of Lua 5.3.

I am pleased to announce that I have just released version 0.7. The JIT compiler now supports most of the Lua bytecodes.

The project documentation can be found at:

http://the-ravi-programming-language.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Performance benchmarks are here:

JIT Compilation Status (slightly out of date):

The main website where development is occurring is:

I requested back in March that Ravi be included in the list of products using LLVM - I would be very grateful if this could be done.

Thanks and Regards Dibyendu
