FastVM/minivm

Embeddable Lua-subset runtime with bytecode VM + GCC/TCC JIT, rich C++ native libs, and arena frame-reset (no GC pauses).

Moved to Codeberg, this repo is just a (temporary) mirror -- luax is a Lua interpreter and REPL based on Lua 5.5, augmented with some useful packages. It is also a "compiler" that produces standalone executables from Lua scripts.

Every Lua, everywhere — pure-Rust Lua 5.1-5.5, suite-passing, LuaRocks-compatible, wasm-ready.

Ravi is a dialect of Lua, featuring limited optional static typing, JIT and AOT compilers
