Not the parent but there are several high quality native (meaning no CGO) Lua implementations for Go and it's a great choice if you want an embedded scripting language: https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting. Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice: https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto
