Yes moonshine was similar, so was brozula
(https://github.com/creationix/brozula)

Moonshine had a few major (but not unsolvable) issues, however the
author has abandoned it and moved onto a new project "Starlight"
(http://starlight.paulcuth.me.uk/) which no longer has a VM
architecture, and hence is incapable of implementing lua semantics for
coroutines.

I'm excited to see another project pop up with the VM architecture,
and am following along closely!
