fengari VS lunatic

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.

I was real excited to see these recently... have you tried any? https://fengari.io/ is the one I was most intrigued by.

Hello, there is also fengari: https://fengari.io/

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.

just use lua, it’s what should have been used for web scripting anyways

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

Just use lua https://fengari.io/

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/.

This reminds me of Lunatic [1], an Erlang-inspired runtime for WebAssembly. Unfortunately it seems like development stalled some months ago.

you can check out https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/lunatic for that

Very cool, and the approach demonstrated might be of interest to a similar problem we have in Ambient (our WASM game runtime that has competing processes that may need to retry interactions.)

That being said - what’s the relation to Lunatic [0]? Are you still working on Lunatic? Is this a side project? Or is it something completely separate?

[0]: https://lunatic.solutions/

Curious too. I follow Lunatic [0] as a candidate for future use, and also wasmCloud [1].

Check out Lunatic https://lunatic.solutions/

There's a couple of Rust libs and frameworks inspired on Erlang in 'best of both worlds' attempts, such as https://lunatic.solutions

I found others like Lunatic before, but cannot remember right now.

There is a really good initiative called Lunatic : https://lunatic.solutions/
