Rembulan
A pure Java implementation of Lua 5.3 for the JVM, designed for sandboxed scripting and embedding.
What is Rembulan?
Rembulan is an implementation of the Lua 5.3 programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. It allows developers to embed Lua as a scripting language within Java applications, with a strong focus on sandboxing untrusted code. The project compiles Lua source directly to Java bytecode and provides a standalone REPL that mimics the standard Lua interpreter.
Java developers who need to embed a secure, sandboxed scripting language into their applications, or those requiring a Lua environment on the JVM for running untrusted scripts.
Rembulan offers a pure Java, dependency-light implementation of Lua 5.3 with built-in sandboxing capabilities, making it ideal for secure scripting scenarios where running untrusted code is a requirement.
