this is a really really interesting path of current trends: to write web apps 
on a single, easy language, and get it compiled into different environments 
for web 'deploying'.

unfortunately, most of these efforts consider JavaScript a usable language.

yes, it would be absolutely wonderfull to replace JS with Lua, but compiling 
Lua into a different bytecode wouldn't be the same.  most bytecode VMs out 
there are really bad, and those that are 'good' have a totally inappropriate 
(for Lua) focus and structure.

i really don't see any way out; if we want to write client-side apps in Lua, 
we need a Lua VM in the client.

please, somebody prove me wrong...
