I actually came across https://github.com/PlutoLang/Pluto and it seems to be all the things you would want from Luau but without the connection to Roblox
Pluto seems cool, and I hadn't heard of it! Looks like they don't have a type system though, so it's more in the flavor of "extensions to Lua 5.4" than actively growing the language in a different direction than Lua itself has been growing.

They have "type hints" which looks to be pretty close to what luau has except they use `any` instead of `unknown` it seems
heh, their custom package manager wrote its own dulwich https://github.com/PlutoLang/apm/blob/aca3620553ed7090552dbd...
