Ravi (http://ravilang.org) is a dialect of Lua with multiple JIT
backends and limited optional static typing. I am pleased to announce
that the 1.0 Beta-4 release of Ravi is now available.
The main highlights of this release are:
* Generational GC back-ported from Lua 5.4
* Random number generation back-ported from Lua 5.4
* Various fixes to the implementation of 'defer' statement which is
Ravi's alternative to Lua 5.4 to-be-closed variables
* Support for LLVM 10.0 has been added
* Various updates to MIR JIT backend
For general information regarding Ravi please visit:

All feedback welcome!

Hello;
With support for the LLVM, would that make it practical to target Wasm
from a Lua/Ravi application?
There is https://github.com/ysugimoto/webassembly-lua but I've not
tried this yet.
Thanks Matthew
