JavaScript doesn't have a standardized bytecode. But, I suppose you could design one, describe it in C++ and run it through this tool. Then you would "just" need a JS source -> bytecode runtime compiler.

Lua doesn't have a standardized bytecode either, just so you know. The fact that PUC-Rio Lua uses bytecode at all is almost an implementation detail, besides the fact that you can dump it and reload it later. But the actual bytecode format and instructions are definitely implementation details and not standardized.
