Sure - https://fengari.io . It is a long time, supported effort by some
core Lua community members. You can also take a look to the introductory
article [1], about the differences with other Lua in Browser
implementations.

BTW, I have another very important project for your list: syslinux - the
most universal and human friendly :-) Linux bootloader which supports:
PXE, EFI, BIOS, ISO and DOS/Windows [2]:

P.S. Paul, when you have hour or two, take a look at Dolt [3] - OSS
versioned (git-like), MySQL compatible [4] Database engine, and their
github-like hosted instance [5].

Since Lua quietly pop-ups everywhere :-), maybe it's worth it to
transform your already long list to a queryable versioned DB, where you
could merge PRs from the community. Eventually, it could become sub-app
of luarocks.org based on such datasource?
