Script language for cross platform development for all relevant platforms

Question

I have a feeling stackoverflow might not be the right place to ask this question, but I'm not sure if http://programmers.stackexchange.com would be a better place...

Anyways, I'm looking for a simple way to write applications for all relevant platforms (Win, Mac OSX, Linux, Android, iOS). In a language like JavaScript, Lua, Python, Ruby....

I really like Lua, nice syntax, small, but it's really hard to get a base working in C/C++.
JavaScript is also really nice syntax wise, especially with Ecma6 classes, but nodejs is way too big... Python is also not really small. On Windows, Linux and Mac OSX it's probably really nice. But mobile apps would need the whole interpreter inside of them.

Has anyone of you experience with this? Or is there simply no reasonable way around C/C++/Java?

If you want to plan for cross-platform app then JavaScript is best language as per my experience. I have created a lots of App using JavaScript in all platform. It is really very nice performance and syntax.
