Fengari – Lua for the Browser

  🌙 φεγγάρι - The Lua VM written in JS ES6 for Node and the browser

  

Lua 5.3’s not really a fork. It just has backwards-incompatible changes, as do 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4.

Otherwise yes, “Fengari implements Lua 5.3”. https://github.com/fengari-lua/fengari

• Fennel

  90 2,281 9.1 Fennel

  Lua Lisp Language

No wokkas.

I found this today after following back to Fennel (for probably the 10th time hehe) from the recent Fullmoon post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30385759) by thinking "what if I use Fennel instead of Lua-proper there?".

I then checked out the Fennel Wiki (https://github.com/bakpakin/Fennel/wiki) where you'll spy a link to Fengari. Maybe that trail of breadcrumbs helps you find more things you might be interested in.

This is great! Can't wait to try it out as soon as I am on a computer. I will see if I can hook this up in my little side project: https://github.com/nhatcher/ariana-lua

• webassembly-lua

  Write and compile WebAssembly code with Lua

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
