The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Orion 1.0.0 release on a VM !
Code and documentation are here: https://github.com/orion-lang/orion
- I switched my language from a tree walk interpreter to a VM, and speed was multiplied by 19.
-
Vim Lisp, a LISP like language created to make Vim configuration more pleasant to do.
When my language VM will be finished, I plan to make this project a library of it. It is not a real LISP, I picked the syntax in Scheme and concepts from OCaml, but I think it could be good for that use case.

Orion, a purely functionnal Lisp written in Rust.
Might be because it uses a tree-walking interpreter.
If I am reading the source right, it copies everything, which is not really beneficial for performance.

Embeddable Scripting Language for Embedded Rust
A colleague of mine used https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon with great success in our rust projects. Although it probably can't run in a no_std environment.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Aside from these, if you want some inspiration for a production-grade language built in Rust, you might want to go through the source code of Starlark and Gluon.

Modules and Imports
Some languages, like Zig and Gluon have an import expression, where the imported symbols are under a local constant's name. Gluon then also supports destructuring, and Zig has had multiple proposals for years about it, none of which are canon. That is, code like this:
- Gluon: A New Node.js Framework to Create Desktop Apps
- Rock v0.2.1, a little native toy language I've made with Rust and LLVM.
- Gluon: A static, type inferred and embeddable language written in Rust

Fornjot – The world needs another CAD program
This should be a good use-case for rust-based scripting languages, I think.
I loosely followed a project of that kind a while ago, I don't quite remember if it was Gluon [0] or Dyon [1]. Not sure if these are still active, or if another competitor showed up in meantime.

Or if you wanted something more Rust-native, you could try Gluon.
