[new release] lice (0.0.1-dev)

[gabyfle]

The Lice Programming language libraries and interpreter

• Project page: https://lice.gabyfle.dev/

CHANGES:

This is the first version with a working prototype of the Lice interpreter using bytecode and a virtual machine instead of a tree-walk algorithm. Improvements have been made on memory usage and execution times.

Modified

• Switched the whole interpreter to a bytecode interpreter. This should
  improve performance and reduce memory usage.

• Changed the way the lice library and the interpreter is compiled, making Lice a true OCaml library.

• Reformated the way types works inside the language and made an overall code cleanup.

• Functions are first class citizens.

Fixed

• Fixed the lexing of float numbers.

Note: This is a pre-release and it's not intended to be used yet.

I think the version may not be correct: you are trying to release version 0.0.1-dev but shouldn't it be 0.0.1? Also note that 0.0.1-dev version value is greater than 0.0.1. If you want to release an alpha, a beta or if you prefer a "dev" version, you should probably use 0.0.1~dev or 0.0.1~alpha1 (the latter is more commonly used to emphasize the pre-release nature, although this is usually the expectation for a package with version 0.0.1)

If instead you don't want users to install it, then I think it is too early to release it

@mseri Yes, actually it was also to test out the way publishing packages on opam works, as it was my first time doing it. Also, it looks like the flambda backend can't terminate the compilation when -O2 flag is on.

I'll just close this pull request for the moment and create a new one once this is ready for a real release ! Thanks for your time !
