I wrote this over the last 3 days because I wanted a simple base for decompilation in Lua
It features bulletin for reference + clear identification of jumps, and for statements.
Instructions also include references to them.
Although it does not have scope control, it naturally supports function scopes.
Credits are much appreciated, though I don't require them.
I ONLY require that you don't claim originality for writing it
Before I move onto scope/flow control, it's important to note that a disassembler of some degree is needed to be fully capable first, and so even if the decompiler doesn't produce the output expected, there will be an option for disassembly
This script produces 2 local functions, disassemble and decompile.
As of right now, "decompile" is set to the disassemble function, mainly for DexV2 and other scripts that support a "decompile" function.
The first arg is the script, or bytecode, which can be either an encoded string or a byte table.
The second arg is optional, and it's a boolean. If you want to include luau opcodes in the output, pass true as the second arg.
This is a free/public project, intended for educational purposes.
Enjoy

I removed the line
local decompile = disassemble, so it is up to you to choose whether to set this as the default decompilation method
