Thank you for your questions.

CLX is still a very young project, so development is currently moving quite 
fast, with the main focus on Lua 5.5 compatibility, performance, and 
testing.


Documentation is already available in the doc/ folder in Markdown format 
(and on the website too): covering architecture, CLI use, C++ API, modules 
management...
Documentation is being expanded alongside the implementation and will 
continue to improve as the project matures.

Some recent commits reflect rapid prototyping, but I intend to improve 
commit quality and project documentation as development stabilizes.

CLX is currently developed by a single author (me) using modern C++20 & 
CMake, and the project is fully open source. I hope to attract contributors 
as the architecture and APIs become more stable. 

My immediate goal is to build a robust foundation before expanding the 
contributor base.
