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.

Which scripting languages work well embedded with Rust?
lua and rust works well. With both the rlua and mlua bindings. There is also a lua vm written in rust: https://github.com/danii/hematita though it is rather early for that.

What scripting language and what implementation would you use with your program written in Rust?
Rust has some good bindings with lua, for example mlua and rlua. There is also a rewrite of lua in 100% safe rust called hematita ( https://github.com/danii/hematita )

hematita - A Memory Safe Lua Interpreter In Rust
Side note: I'm aware `cargo install hematita_cli` doesn't work, for now you'll have to run `cargo install --git 'https://github.com/danii/hematita.git' hematita_cli`. I've refrained from publishing the CLI crate because I remembered I could just include the CLI in the main crate, so I'm giving myself time to choose whether or not I should.

The release notes can be found here.

Do Rust and Lua work well together?
I'm not a specialist about text based multiplayer game, but from what I saw on Wikipedia it seem doable to do it with Rust and Bevy. On top of that you can add a layer of LUA with https://github.com/khvzak/mlua (or write your own bindings and sandbox later).

Introducing Petrichor64 - a rust and wgpu built game engine/fantasy console with lua game logic
mlua can run on emscripten target with Luau backend -> https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/issues/23
- I was searching for embedded lanaguages in Rust and I found out I can use deno https://deno.land/[email protected]/embedding_deno which is amazing has anyone tried it ?

Repos using rlua/mlua
You can also look at the "dependents" section on crates.io https://crates.io/crates/mlua/reverse_dependencies and github https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/network/dependents

is rlua-async supports mutli-threading?
I know mlua does support Async. I also prefer it over rlua
-
Rust and Lua api
Note rlua doesn't allow you to create native modules with it and has largely been superseded by https://github.com/khvzak/mlua since it's more maintained, has native module support and stuff like Luau and async/await.

Dash.nvim v0.8.0 now supports Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap fuzzy finders!
This is achieved through a backend/client architecture -- all core functionality (getting query results, opening selected item, search engine fallback, etc.) is implemented in a "backend" module, which is a Rust library exposed as a Lua module via mlua. The results returned by the backend then get fed into your fuzzy-finder of choice through thin clients, or "providers".
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hematita and mlua you can also consider the following projects:
