clx is a native compiler that compiles Lua 5.5 scripts to standalone executables. Version 0.4.0 is out, focused on performance and stability :

- New generational garbage collector

- Faster function calls

- Faster table iteration using next(), pairs(), ipairs()

- Faster string operations using SIMD instructions on x64 and ARM64

- Optional dynamic execution of Lua code using an embedded Lua VM with seamless interoperability with native code

- Better stability : several rare crashes caused by values being freed too early while native code was still using them are fixed

- As a real-world test, clx can now compile the Teal compiler into a native standalone executable, and it produces the same output as standard Lua when compiling Teal scripts

- clx is faster than Lua 5.5 in well known Lua benchmark scripts, and competitive with LuaJIT on many of them

Feedback and bug reports are welcome !

Hey HN!

Prime SaaS started with a simple idea: I wanted a SaaS boilerplate built around the technology stack I’ve always preferred — Node.js, React, Material UI, PostgreSQL, AWS, and other modern technologies — but couldn’t find one that brought them together in the way I wanted.

I also found that many SaaS boilerplates lacked the clean, maintainable codebase and overall structure I was looking for.

So I decided to build the one I wanted to use myself — and make it available to other developers too.

Would love to hear your feedback!
