Fengari – Lua for the Browser
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

Fengari – Lua for the Browser
Yea, LuaJIT can get near C speeds, as far as I'm aware. You can read more here: https://luajit.org/luajit.html

Could someone clarify Raylib for me?
I also found this gtihub repo, this one is using luaJIT a just in time lua compiler, i dont know if you have any python expirience but this one, but from what i understand luaJIT makes lua a language that can be compiled and run in your terminal, it aperently also has a comminty made package/library manager called cherry.

What's the state of LuaJIT these days?
openresty's LuaJIT2 has, and makes, regular releases (the last one was less than a month ago), and closely tracks development, including the extensions beyond Lua 5.1.

Open letter to core vim developers and vim community
There is also the openresty fork of luajit which Neovim can be built with and provides their own releases.

What is the benefit of writing plugins in Lua rather than any other language?

Where to start on making a game engine
Remember, bad C++ code will certainly be slower than good code written in an interpreted language! That being said, Lua is very fast, one of the fastest scripting languages. See this thread, which talks about LuaJit.

Why LuaJIT's interpreter is written in assembly
https://github.com/openresty/luajit2
It has a few extras but they agree with the original luajit authors opinion that not every 5.2 feature can be made in jit.
What are some alternatives?
Fennel - Lua Lisp Language
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
fengari - 🌙 φεγγάρι - The Lua VM written in JS ES6 for Node and the browser
pallene - Pallene Compiler
cobweb - COBOL to WebAssembly compiler
asm-dom - A minimal WebAssembly virtual DOM to build C++ SPA (Single page applications)
pynvim - Python client and plugin host for Nvim
ariana-lua - Plotting functions with Lua!
lua-languages - Languages that compile to Lua
sdk - The Dart SDK, including the VM, dart2js, core libraries, and more.
benchmarks - Some benchmarks of different languages
