Lua in the browser? Truly, we live in the future.

View on HN

You should check Sailor web framework which is implemented in Lua; it lets you do such thing

http://www.sailorproject.org/docs/views

if you can do lua, you can prolly do any language.

Can't wait for GHC.

Can't wait for BEAM -- the Erlang VM in the browser!

https://github.com/baryluk/erljs

you can already kinda get that with purescript

Never say never but Lua is pretty unique because of the vm size and language design.

It seems to me that Clojure is similar insofar as it was designed to be a hosted language. Although, it sounds like wasm might be too low level for now.
