Jacobin: Minimal JVM written in Go and capable of running Java 17 classes
https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua
Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting.
Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice:

Are there any Golang Lua VMs that support snapshotting/serializationi?
Do you know about go-lua? There's a good discussion of various go lua implementations here, including this choice quote:
-
Change go code behaviour at runtime
There are lua and Go-script options. My impression is that a few are well accepted but perhaps just a little less widely used than the first two. I cannot speak from personal experience on them. Shopify has a Lua 5.2 port: https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua and I know https://github.com/bitfield/script is one of the Go-like scripting languages, but I think it's more for a shell script replacement than embedding.

Show HN: LadyLua, batteries-included static Lua 5.1 interpreter
GopherLua [0] is a Lua implementation written in Go, not just a wrapper around the C implementation.
The main alternative seems to be Shopify’s go-lua [1], given that Microsoft’s golua [2] is no longer being developed. The main difference between these three implementations seems to be the supported Lua version - 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 respectively.
