LuaX – Lua interpreter, REPL, and useful packages
luax is a Lua interpreter and REPL based on Lua 5.4, augmented with some useful packages. It is also a "compiler" that produces standalone executables from Lua scripts. - CDSoft/luax
luax can compile scripts and link them to precompiled libraries for all supported targets. luax is very similar to lua and adds more options to compile scripts: luax.lua: LuaX modules reimplemented in pure Lua (except LuaSocket and lpeg)
