You may have noticed in the last luvit release that luv now has release
versions.

This is because luv is packaged as a standalone luarock
<https://luarocks.org/modules/creationix/luv>. If you want to use the libuv
bindings in a non-luvit setting, imply install luarocks and cmake on your
system and install it using luarocks:

    luarocks install luv <https://asciinema.org/a/estzfvcpa5szxn0yvb13se2rq>

If all goes well, you'll be able to `require("luv")` from your lua
program.  You will still have normal lua require systems and the normal lua
repl (though it's much improved in lua 5.3).

This is an alternative path for people who prefer a more traditional lua
workflow.  I have a sample web application framework
<https://github.com/creationix/luvweb/tree/master/src> where I hand-ported
several luvit and lit libraries to work with vanilla luv in normal lua.

If there is interest, I'll write a blog post showing a simple way to get
starting using this new technique with normal lua and luarocks.
