There's also a Typescript to Lua transpiler https://typescripttolua.github.io/

I've used it successfully with Love2d projects (albeit with some quirks)

Mostly that Lua datatypes don’t always have great analogs in TS (particularly tables) and you have to be pretty cognizant of what’s going on under the hood.

All of these, too: https://typescripttolua.github.io/docs/caveats
