Why not directly in the browser?

If a whole PC/Linux can be emulated in the browser:
http://bellard.org/jslinux/
It cant be so impossible for Lua.

Reimplementing Lua VM in Javascript ist not a task done in a week. But
it would be an awesome project. Like the Javascript PC/Linux emulator.
Otherwise just run the vanilla Lua in the PC emulator.
