    Not sure why'd you think this would have anything to do with WASM, the homepage is really clear what this is: "Fengari is the Lua VM written in JavaScript. It uses JavaScript's garbage collector so that interoperability with the DOM is non-leaky.". WASM wouldn't use JS's GC, nor would provide interop with the DOM, so for the stated goals of this project, WASM would be a non-starter.

    There is prior art for Lua -> WASM in case you're interested in that: https://github.com/ysugimoto/webassembly-lua
