I suspect the work is still ongoing. But maybe not on priority.
This diff from around 3 months ago shows it's likely possible to run it in the browser currently but with a lot of caveats (pretty great nonetheless!).

Very cool! Quite similar to fe [1], a tiny, embeddable Lisp by the magnificent rxi. Seriously, if you like games and gorgeous C and Lua code, check out his projects and the games on itch.io!
