Lua: The Little Language That Could
it should be possible, the article mentions https://fengari.io/ (a Lua VM written in JavaScript)

Check out Fengari or Lapis. Fun fact: itch.io is written primarily in Lua, and started by the same person who made Lapis and MoonScript.

Lua is the fourth-fastest growing language on GitHub
I was real excited to see these recently... have you tried any? https://fengari.io/ is the one I was most intrigued by.

How to embed lua in a JS webapp?
Hello, there is also fengari: https://fengari.io/

PyScript
Other languages have done that :)
Lua in the browser: https://fengari.io/
And then you can use that to run Fennel, a Lisp that compiles to Lua https://fennel-lang.org/
I think TypeScript also has a script you can include that lets you put your TS code in a special script tag, and it gets compiled in-browser.

Intro to PyScript: Run Python in your web browser
just use lua, it’s what should have been used for web scripting anyways

Upcoming interview with Roberto Ierusalimschy
Please stop this stuck in the mud nonsense. Anyone stumbling upon lua.org might think the project is dead already. The material is great, close to the best, but its presentation is pure shite. Not mobile friendly (what kinds of device do you think the majority of people in the Global South use?). We live in a world of code highlighting, none of that in PiL. We live in a world where Fengari allows Lua to run in the browser, does that make an appearance on lua.org, allowing users to immediately play with the language? Of course not! It's almost as if the Lua team is trying to push away potential users.

why not use lua

I really like to think of PyScript as the “Minecraft of software development”
Just use lua https://fengari.io/

What can I create with Lua?
Definitely the most surprising use-case for Lua that I've seen is http://lua.space/webdev/why-we-rewrote-lua-in-js which discusses https://fengari.io/.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
for the editor, I made the vscode extension, it was surprisingly easy since my script language looks a lot like c++/javascript/etc. Maintaining both is a bit annoying but I think it's worth it to have good enough looking syntax highlighting in vscode. https://github.com/brwhale/KataScript/blob/main/VSCodeExtension/katascriptlang/syntaxes/katascript.tmLanguage.json and https://github.com/brwhale/KataScript/blob/main/VSCodeExtension/katascriptlang/language-configuration.json are all it took, but the big missing feature is stuff like "red underline when you forget a semicolon".
- KataScript v0.8 Released! - Major performance improvements and Classes now have Destructors!

- sometimes you can use a programming language to program another language
- Show HN: KataScript, new language looking for feedback
- KataScript v0.3 - Structures and Dot Syntax
