I love JS, don't get me wrong, I absolutelly love Javascript. But I love the JS that the browser runs and understands. I hate the current ecosystem of bundlers, transpilers, typescript, npm modules and so on.

Yes, I could have picked a js runtime and done the same thing. The same thing could also have been done with literally any other language.

It is less of a "Only Lua Can Do This" situation and more of a "I Like Working with Lua" situation.
