I created my own programming language that compiles into Lua code but uses a more C/Rust like syntax

• tl

  54 1,931 7.7 Lua

  The compiler for Teal, a typed dialect of Lua

  

There is also another typed dialect here https://github.com/teal-language/tl

• Clue

  6 330 8.5 Rust

  C/Rust like programming language that compiles into Lua code (by ClueLang)

  

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• roblox-ts

  3 816 9.0 TypeScript

  A TypeScript-to-Luau Compiler for Roblox

  

And roblox-ts that compiles a subset of TypeScript to Luau, a typed superset of Lua developed by Roblox.

• micro-editor

  227 23,872 8.9 Go

  A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

Most recently I've used Lua to write plugins for micro text editor. Other projects I know of that use it as a scripting language include Neovim (text editor), mpv (media player), VLC media player, Weechat (IRC client), ComputerCraft (Minecraft mod), and Factorio.

• haxe

  82 5,958 9.7 Haxe

  Haxe - The Cross-Platform Toolkit

  

• nelua-lang

  32 1,842 7.8 Lua

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

OTOH, if you want to go in the opposite direction (Lua to C), I like Nelua a lot :)

• rust-prehistory

  18 566 0.8 C

  historical archive of rust pre-publication development

Early Rust was very different (example). It is almost certain that modern Rust took a lot of cues from Go. And, as above, Go was obviously heavily inspired by C, just like your language. So, all told, where you landed is likely very much what is expected.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
