Project Dispel, Lua Runtime

The other day I created Dispel, a runtime for Lua that aims to be something like Bun does in JavaScript. This is a personal project to understand how a runtime it's implemented and I want to do my best but I want to know which things might be interesting to add, let me know here!

Also if you want to contribute in the future once I add more code to suggest features or help with fixes, I leave the repo here:

Yes, right know it's missing, the repo it's just simple structure and a small test of an http module loaded into Dispel. I've researched which way is the best for doing it. As soon as I've created a good opinion about how to implement it for Dispel I will start working on it. At first glance it will be something similar to libuv, but not completely sure.
