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.

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.

Gleam
Gleam is written in Rust and is a nice example (besides Rust itself) of what it looks like to write a language in Rust. By my own tracking (https://github.com/alilleybrinker/langs-in-rust) Gleam is one of the most popular languages written in Rust and is one of the few top languages in that list which isn't a reimplementation of an existing language!

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.

Scripting language that compiles to Rust?
A scripting language with an interpreter written in rust? Lua doesn't compile to C. The Lua interpreter is written in C and can inter-operate with it. Maybe look here: https://github.com/alilleybrinker/langs-in-rust

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (29/2022)!
There are in fact! If I remember correctly, Gluon and Gleam are both done via Combinators. You can probably find many more here

Higher level languages over Rust?
Or maybe see languages implemented in Rust being writen in rust doesn't mean they're good at interacting wirh rust)

Announcing Parcel CSS: A new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier written in Rust!
Parcel has been added to my list of languages implemented in Rust! It's currently the only CSS implementation listed there.
