A new compiler for Lua and Ravi that can also generate code AOT

Hi, I have been working on a new compiler for Ravi - which is a dialect of Lua 5.3 with some support for static types, and supports JIT compilation. The new compiler I am writing will compile input Lua/Ravi code to C, and the generated C code can be compiled into a shared library, and loaded at runtime.
