Are there any instructions to build new backends?

Hello.
Very interesting project this one you have here.
I am interested in compiling ocaml to Lua, and this project seems to be a perfect fit for such a project.
Are there any guides or smaller and simpler examples than php?

This project is essentially abandoned right now. Making backend for rehp is doable, although would require a lot of knowledge and time. I managed to build correctly working transpiler to Golang, but produced code was too slow, I need typing information and lost energy and time to continue.

I've tried to upstream generalized part of rehp to jsoo, see ocsigen/js_of_ocaml#1076. But my attempt was not complete, more work is required on splitting JS semantics out of generalized IR. Probably my PR can serve as good start in case you're up to. Unfortunately I don't have time for that right now...
