I've been half-heartedly working on a Javascript port of Lua using 
KopiLua (my C# port) as a starting point. It's been more of a joke than 
anything else though, I don't quite see the point of using a perfectly 
good scripting language to implement the compiler, VM and libraries of 
another perfectly good scripting language.

That said, Javascripts loose data typing has so far made the porting 
process fairly straightforward, if there was a serious need for 
something like this then I don't think it would take too much work to 
finish it off.
