    Lute is a general-purpose, Node.js-style runtime for Luau (https://luau.org/) that just hit 1.0.0. It supports filesystem operations, networking, process management, cryptography, and a proper module system, backed by libraries like libuv, curl, and libsodium.

    The part we're most excited about: we've exposed APIs for manipulating Luau's syntax tree, so you can write code transformations directly against the language using Lute. This is especially useful if you're working with a large Luau codebase and want powerful tooling.

    The team's happy to answer questions about the implementation or design decisions!
