This seems to be a thin wrapper for the actual Lua VM implemented in Go: https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua

So Lua to Go, and Go to Javascript. I wonder how well that works..

This description made me chuckle. It reads to me like someone was intentionally concocting the most complex and least efficient method of programming a computer.

I come from a game development background and my view on things is admittedly affected by having to deal with issues related to real time efficiency.
