(synopsis "Library for generating assembly code at runtime")
(description
- "GNU lightning is a library that generates assembly language code at
-run-time; it is very fast, making it ideal for Just-In-Time compilers, and it
-abstracts over the target CPU, as it exposes to the clients a standardized
-RISC instruction set inspired by the MIPS and SPARC chips.")
