  3. luau

    A fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from Lua

    If you need Lua but also type-safety, how about Luau [1] then?

  4. zvm

    zvm (Zig Version Manager) lets you easily install/upgrade between different versions of Zig.

    ZVM (https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm) is a good alternative to keep uptodate with Zig nightly versions and also quickly switch to a stable version when needed.

  5. nelua-lang

    Minimal, efficient, statically-typed and meta-programmable systems programming language heavily inspired by Lua, which compiles to C and native code.

  6. umka-lang

    Umka: a statically typed embeddable scripting language

    I'm a fan or Umka. It is inspired by Go and can be embedded into C programs.
