Scripting with Luerl
summary
Luerl implements Lua as a thin skin on the BEAM and claims a faithful Lua VM and compiler that omit the C API while exposing a straightforward Erlang API. It ships a bytecode VM, a compiler that separates local from global environments, layered garbage collection, and demos that actually run. Interop goes both ways: call Erlang from Lua and call Lua from Erlang, enabling millions of concurrent Lua processes but with a small, still-growing community.
