JavaScript library that executes scripting language in browser

Is there some JS library that could execute script written in some other scripting language (like Lua) in a browser environment. E.g. something like this. 

TheLibabry.executeScript(scriptCode, apiObjects, timeout);

I know about eval() function, but I need a script to run in isolated environment i.e. do not have access to my code. And I want some simple, classic imperative language like Lua or even basic. Also, I want to be able to set a timeout for this script. I.e. limit execution time.

You could try leveraging WebAssembly to run different code languages.
