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.
extism
- Extism: Cross-language framework for building with WebAssembly
- Extism – make all software programmable. Extend from within
-
Faces.js, a JavaScript library for generating vector-based cartoon faces
Extism can be really useful for packaging up and running cross-language libraries!
The most clear information about it is at: https://extism.org, but its a bit focused on the primary use case for Extism, being a universal plugin system.
There is a C PDK (https://github.com/extism/c-pdk) which you'd probably want to use in a new wrapper around your library in C++, and compile it to wasm32 freestanding or WASI, but without emscripten. Extism doesn't currently have an interop layer to emscripten.

Show HN: Now my pet programming language can run in the browser
It may just be my own unique obsession to peek at the internals of .wasm, but if anyone else is curious:

u/nbittich - curious if you've tried to use your language as as a scripting language inside other apps? I took a peak at your browser wasm environment, and think we could hook up the `compute` entrypoint you have here[0], but I'm not certain what the `ctx` does without going super deep, and if it could be passed into an Extism function[1] (which is how I'd try to run it from within 16+ other languages).

WebAssembly Playground
Yep, this is one of the initial motivations for creating Extism: https://github.com/extism/extism -- and it works across 16 host languages & 8 guest languages.
-
WASI 0.2.0 and Why It Matters
On the devx, there's definitely some rough edges around building and using Wasm. My company has been working on a framework to ease integrating Wasm into existing applications. One area it focuses on is providing easy data passing between the host program and the Wasm and vice versa. https://github.com/extism/extism We do not have WASI preview 2 support yet, but are interested in integrating it.
- Extism, the universal WASM framework, reaches 1.0
- Extism, the WebAssembly framework, hits 1.0
- Extism 1.0.0 Released

Hotswapping on native languages?
Mun is a statically typed language that compiles to machine code with LLVM, designed to be hot-reloadable: https://mun-lang.org/.

Best language to use as a scripting lang for my rust app
Perhaps https://mun-lang.org? Might be a bit raw for your needs tho.

Mun v0.4.0 released
But that’s not all! In total, this release contains 111 pull requests made by 5 of our community contributors and our two Core Team members & Dependabot. Thanks for having our back! For a full list have a look at the changelog, but the main improvements are:
-
Mun v0.4.0: a statically-typed scripting language like Rust, written in Rust
Whenever I read about Mun, I'm always really, really intrigued… Until I remember that it currently has no string type and support for one is not currently planned. That's a bit of a shame, IMHO, because otherwise, this looks great!
-
Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language
There's mun [1] which is statically typed and AOT compiled.

Lessons from Writing a Compiler
From the reverse-dependencies of the salsa crate, the (archived) Lark compiler used it and the Mun compiler uses it.
-
(async) Rust doesn't have to be hard
I notice that there are projects like mun trying to achieve a similar goal, but I'm kind of curious why they are not getting much attention from the community.
-
Rust Is Hard, Or: The Misery of Mainstream Programming
Have you heard of https://mun-lang.org/ ?
It's an embeddable scripting language with the goal of being a Rust-like language that supports hot reloading of functions AND data. To achieve the latter, it uses GC'ed memory such that memory can easily be mapped when the memory's type changes.
It's still in early development but maybe one day will serve your needs :)

After working on our Godot + Rust game fulltime for one year it is now up on Steam
In terms of pure Rust engines/frameworks it seems the overall "problem" is lack of scripting, at least from my perspective. Mun seemed extremely interesting, but since even the project itself says "don't use it" I guess it's not a real option, and considering the amount of time we spent on the GDScript/Rust integration I'm a little worried that rolling something more custom would be even less efficient.
