That's pretty awesome. I love Lua lately, for its simplicity both in design and implementation, and it's great to see that I can use it in an MCU! That said, it's pretty dumb that it has to have a JS transpiler in order to get popular.

Apparently you cannot run code without using the transpiler, but it is planned.

They also mention that the API will be awkward to use from Lua, but it's probably pretty easy to fix this.

Lua has actually had a microcontroller project for years see http://www.eluaproject.net/ but without the nice slick deployment that tessel has.
