Feature

Support the Lua scripting language. The popular LuaJIT variant is probably a good choice for this.

Benefit

Lua is an extremely popular and almost-universal language in the modding community.

wasmtime is already seeing some popularity within Rust gamedev spaces (see wasvy).

But without Lua support, it struggles to compete with other modding solutions that do support Lua.

Implementation

I'm not very familiar with implementing WASM runtimes, so I can't say much sorry.

Alternatives

I think the only alternative is making a in-repo ad-hoc implementation for your own project.
