Luon programming language
A compiler and IDE for the Luon programming language - a liaison beween Lua and Oberon+ - targeting LuaJIT - rochus-keller/Luon
Luon is a high-level programming language with a syntax similar to Oberon+, Oberon-07 and Oberon-2, integrating concepts from Lua, and targeting the LuaJIT VM. The Luon Are-we-fast-yet suite works up to Json; a significant refactoring of the code generator was necessary for this to properly intitialize all class objects up-front; the performance is currently slightly (1%) better than Lua, and there is room for improvement. The Project Oberon System has been migrated to Luon; the code works so far, but for correct display output many changes would be required (maybe in future).
