I think the first task for you (congratulations! ;-)) or anyone else interested will be to check out the branch, build it, assess it, and tell us what it’s current status is. Then, assuming it’s in a good shape, one would have to try running actual Lua programs, in search of bugs. Along the way, these bugs would have to be fixed, and the test suite augmented accordingly. Then the fine points regarding multi-language integration will have to be sorted out. The manual will have to be updated. When all this is in place, we can consider merging the branch. I wouldn’t want to merge a half-baked front-end. WDYT? Ludo’.
