Hello,

CLX is a new open-source ahead-of-time compiler for Lua 5.5.
CLX compiles Lua source code to standalone native executables through 
modern C++20 toolchains (Clang, GCC, and MSVC).

Current features include:

	*

Native standalone executable compilation
	*

Support for most Lua 5.5 language features
	*

Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, and macOS)
	*

Lightweight runtime designed for AOT compilation
	*

C++ API for native modules
	*

Example projects (a fully playable Pong game and a Mandelbrot fractal 
renderer)

Recent benchmarks show consistent speedups over the standard Lua 
interpreter and competitive performance with LuaJIT on a number of 
workloads.

The project is currently in beta and feedback is welcome.
