Author here if you have any question. Also if you have done any enhancement to Lua/LuaJIT and want help or talk about it I'm glad to hear from you. There is an parser/transpiler using lemon/re2c that can transpile almost any Lua source to LJS see here https://github.com/mingodad/ljs/tree/master/lua2ljs . Here are some non trivial projects converted to LJS: ljsjit at https://github.com/mingodad/ljsjit ljs-5.1 at https://github.com/mingodad/ljs-5.1 ZeroBraneStudio port at https://github.com/mingodad/ZeroBraneStudioLJS raptorjit-ljs at https://github.com/mingodad/raptorjit-ljs snabb-ljs at https://github.com/mingodad/snabb-ljs premake5-ljs at https://github.com/mingodad/premake-core/tree/ljs The next steps that I have in mind now is to add the remaining syntax sugar like: -C/C++/Java/Javascript for loop -Switch statement -Class statement -co
Read the rest
nst declarations - type checking (actually https://fascinatedbox.github.io/lily/ has those and it seems a good one to port/add) -Understand and make it easier for other people understand the implementation of LuaJIT.
