Hi, the easiest way to try out Ravi (without JIT) is to get it via
Visual Studio Code. Just install the debug extension at:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ravilang.ravi-debug.

This will let you play with the type annotations.

You can also install a windows binary from:
https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/Suravi/releases
Note the latest release does not include LLVM (to reduce download size).

The installation is standalone (self contained in a directory) so it
should not interfere with anything else you have.
