title: List of Lua derived VMs and Languages
body: <p>Is there a compendium of virtual machines and languages derived or inspired by Lua?  By derived, I mean usage beyond embedding and extending with modules.  I'm wanting to research the Lua technology tree, and am looking for our combined knowledge of what already exists.</p>
  
  <p>Current List:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Bright - A C-like Lua Derivative <a href="http://bluedino.net/luapix/Bright.pdf" rel="noreferrer">http://bluedino.net/luapix/Bright.pdf</a></li>
  <li>Agena - An Algol68/SQL like Lua Derivative <a href="http://agena.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">http://agena.sourceforge.net/</a></li>
  <li>LuaJIT - A (very impressive) JIT for Lua <a href="http://luajit.org" rel="noreferrer">http://luajit.org</a></li>
  <li>MetaLua - An ML-style language extension <a href="http://metalua.luaforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">http://metalua.luaforge.net/</a></li>
