If someone were to port Lua (i.e. src/*.{c,h}) to another language

source files? Any advice on this would be over-enthusiastically
appreciated.

I would choose a mixed mode compiler so that common linkage and debug etc. is easier, even if this is not the final choice.

Mirroring data structures will need to be done early.
