LÖVR – An open source framework for rapidly building immersive 3D experiences
So there's actually two things:
1. Love can actually be used directly as a C++ library. It's a bit of work to get the build system going but that's what we do on https://github.com/castle-xyz/castle-client/tree/master/core -- example of use of the Love API: https://github.com/castle-xyz/castle-client/blob/7bfffa10e84... -- we used to use the Lua Love and have since worked on porting our engine to C++. It even runs in the web with the same code through Wasm.
2. For a 'simple C library for 2d (and actually 3d) game development' -- I would highly recommend https://www.raylib.com/. I really, really dig the API design there. One of the main 'downsides' I guess is it doesn't out of the box build natively for iOS -- but the Wasm support makes it run there pretty fine out of the box and raylib-fork can be used to get a native iOS build going with some work. It's got a lot of stuff out of the box including a GLTF loader and skeletal animation.

Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?
I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.
But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

Is it really bad using an unpopular framework?
not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D
-
Is it okay to ask a question about Lovr here?
As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.
- need help choosing a game engine in lua for a 3d desktop/vr game

Lua, a Misunderstood Language
I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv.

I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.
If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?
Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.
