Mochalua is a Java ME port of the Lua runtime and API.

Quotes from lua-users.org:

We were aware of Kahlua but it was incomplete when we started the Mochalua project (and may still be). We were also aware that there was another project locked within the bowels of a short-sighted company. So we put our money toward hiring a company, Nikitova, to work with us to do a conversion from scratch.

Mochalua is a port of the Lua runtime and API only, not the compiler. The API functions have kept their original names and signatures from the C implementation with only minor variations to account for language differences. It has been able to pass the Lua test vectors. We have also put it through its paces for our own projects. At this time, it should be a pretty stable codebase for you to use.

iSqueak is a port of the Squeak Smalltalk environment to the iPhone and iPod touch.

Quotes from The Weekly Squeak:

The source code, along with installation instructions and other useful resources, is available at a new website: http://isqueak.org.

As had been discussed earlier, Michael notes that due to the legal requirements of the Apple Developer agreement at this time, they cannot distribute a fully functional Squeak VM via the Apple Store. However Licenced iPhone developers can deploy the VM as an Ad Hoc VM for testing to a limited number of devices.

In addition, anyone who has access to the Apple SDK can compile and run the port in the iPhone emulator.
