Make sure the problem is not too complex for lua 5.1 and the lua ecosystem, so your effort will have results.
Prototype a minimal viable product to understand performance tradeoffs on the problem.

plenary.nvim nvim wishlist (what is missing in lua for neovim)

Other typical used languages to use (for a subpart of your problem):

fennel
python
nodejs/typescript
C
Rust
...

We want to keep it short except for lua, since there are no good documents elsewhere.
