Readable isn't the same as efficient. You can have readable code that nukes system resources. The fundamental problem is now you're running through two compilers/interpreters now. You're not running Java bytecode in a VM built in C. You're running a JS compiler/interpreter on top of Lua's equivalent of Java VM. Of course this is depending on how well the JS-to-Lua compiler is written and the code that is ingested, but there will always be overhead you will have to contend with.
