mlua VS dash.nvim

The release notes can be found here.

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).

mlua can run on emscripten target with Luau backend -> https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/issues/23

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

I know mlua does support Async. I also prefer it over rlua

Note rlua doesn't allow you to create native modules with it and has largely been superseded by https://github.com/khvzak/mlua since it's more maintained, has native module support and stuff like Luau and async/await.

I'm glad to announce first mlua version 0.8.0-beta.1 with Roblox Luau support.

I believe mlua [0] is the recommended Lua Rust binding now.

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".

Here's a simple example of how to build a custom Telescope picker, taken from my Dash.nvim plugin: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/blob/0934c31a7c6b6aa40d6866f8840f8836ff4efecc/lua/dash/providers/telescope.lua

Hi, author of dash.nvim here, a plugin for Neovim that allows you to search Dash.app directly from Neovim with your favorite fuzzy-finder plugin (currently supports Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap).

Hey y'all, author of Dash.nvim here, a Neovim plugin for Dash.app, written primarily in Rust in order to achieve true parallelism and performance.

Maybe the wrong place to ask but do you think this project (my first Rust project) is good enough to get me a Rust job if I already work at the company in a different department doing HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React? https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim

Check out my plugin dash.nvim, the majority is written in Rust. You can do the same with C. Look up “Lua cffi”, there’s a few different libraries that work with a foreign function interface (FFI) between Lua and C.

Dash.nvim is a plugin that allows you to search Dash.app (a documentation aggregator app for Mac) from within Neovim. At first, it started as a Telescope extension, but after my first time posting it in this sub, I received demand for the same thing to support other fuzzy finders (I've also got an open issue to add Linux support using Dasht or Zeal, Linux clients for Dash docsets).

fzf-lua is now supported with v0.7.0!

I'm the author of Dash.nvim and this morning I got this issue: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/issues/63

Check out Dash.nvim and see for yourself!
