If the output went into TeXShop then it would overwrite your Lua program. If you mean have the output go to a file and have TeXShop open that file then maybe just configure TeXShop with an “engine” that runs Lua and sends the output to a .out or .txt file. If you then open the file in a separate TeXShop window, maybe it picks up changes as they happen and displays them? (I haven’t checked for TeXShop but many programming editors can.) I don’t think ConTeXt can run Lua without the output going to the console along with all the initialisation messages. However there is a `lua` command line app to run lua porgrams available from www.lua.org which you could install and use instead.
