Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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, 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.

A First Look at PyScript: Python in the Web Browser – Real Python
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/.

Announcing mlua v0.9 (rc) - Full featured Lua bindings to Rust
The release notes can be found here.
-
Do Rust and Lua work well together?
I'm not a specialist about text based multiplayer game, but from what I saw on Wikipedia it seem doable to do it with Rust and Bevy. On top of that you can add a layer of LUA with https://github.com/khvzak/mlua (or write your own bindings and sandbox later).

Introducing Petrichor64 - a rust and wgpu built game engine/fantasy console with lua game logic
mlua can run on emscripten target with Luau backend -> https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/issues/23
- I was searching for embedded lanaguages in Rust and I found out I can use deno https://deno.land/[email protected]/embedding_deno which is amazing has anyone tried it ?

Repos using rlua/mlua
You can also look at the "dependents" section on crates.io https://crates.io/crates/mlua/reverse_dependencies and github https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/network/dependents
-
is rlua-async supports mutli-threading?
I know mlua does support Async. I also prefer it over rlua
-
Rust and Lua api
Note rlua doesn't allow you to create native modules with it and has largely been superseded by https://github.com/khvzak/mlua since it's more maintained, has native module support and stuff like Luau and async/await.

Announcing mlua 0.8.0-beta with Roblox Luau support
I'm glad to announce first mlua version 0.8.0-beta.1 with Roblox Luau support.

Lua: Good, Bad, and Ugly Parts
I believe mlua [0] is the recommended Lua Rust binding now.

Dash.nvim v0.8.0 now supports Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap fuzzy finders!
This is achieved through a backend/client architecture -- all core functionality (getting query results, opening selected item, search engine fallback, etc.) is implemented in a "backend" module, which is a Rust library exposed as a Lua module via mlua. The results returned by the backend then get fed into your fuzzy-finder of choice through thin clients, or "providers".
