Lua backend for Gleam

[willmartian]

• I like Gleam.
• There are many places where one must instead write Lua:
  • Redis
  • Roblox
  • Neovim
  • more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_using_Lua
• Lua is a popular compile target:
  • Fennel
  • MoonScript
  • more: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages

Would it be possible/worthwhile to add a Lua backend to Gleam? Would exploration here be welcomed?

You could fork Gleam to add a Lua target. The JavaScript target could be a good reference for the implementation, as the languages are fairly similar.
