Hi Dmytro, sorry for the delay,
great, job, i have just a small remark
In Lower.visitBinary(), acmp is used two times with different meanings,
import static and local variable, i think the local variable could be 
renamed.
Futhermore, unboxedComparison can be inlined in visiBinary() because
it is used only once and the if/else will be more balanced.

cheers,
Re'mi
