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

OmG jAVaScRiPt InSeCuRe. LuA bETtEr.
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, itās 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.

A First Look at PyScript: Python in the Web Browser ā Real Python
why not use lua
-
I really like to think of PyScript as the āMinecraft of software developmentā
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/.

Ask HN: Best Open E-Reader?
Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]
Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Wear OS "Hybrid" design has two OSes, two CPUs, "100 hour" battery life
Ha! I feel similarly, if not as eloquently.
Installed https://github.com/koreader/koreader on mine + enabled SSH server.

E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance
I read that KOreader is unstable on the Libra 2[0], so I havenāt installed it yet even though I would like to. What has been your experience running it?

First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?
You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader).

Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use
I'm using Kobo Clara 2E (6" screen size), and it is unpleasant to read PDF and CBZ files (comic/manga) since Kobo only provides zoom and orientation mode. I installed KOReader on my Kobo. It has more setup to display those files way better. The views of PDF in KOReader and Comic in Koreader. I read Epub files in Koreader to maintain its original format.
-
Should I buy a kobo libra 2 or carla 2e for manga
I installed KOReader on my Kobo Clara 2E. KOReader is a document viewer to read PDFs and manga/comics. KOReader has more setup to display fixed-layout format in a way that is better than the native Kobo display (Kobo stock).

Calibre ā New in Calibre 7.0
It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.
It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard" that shows how fast you read (words per minute). Fun competition between my wife and I (that I'm 100% losing). It's a Progressive Web App and utilizes a Service Worker to support 100% offline reading as well.
There's a demo server [2] (creds are "demo" for both user & pass).
