Ypu could probably run it in wasm. Of course, without access to the DOM it won't go any further than anything else on wasm. The whole thing is nuts if you ask me. So much lost potential.


I transpiled the runtime into wasm and made an interactive shell: https://thecatbutt.com/lua/


What is nuts?


It's slang, it's a reference to legumes I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legume


lost potential of wasm not being allowed access to dom


Means like "a crazy thing" in slang, I think.


That is correct. Not sure about all dialects of English but in American English, "nuts" is a slang synonym for "insane". So to say "the whole thing is nuts" could be rephrased as "the situation is crazy".
