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.

Announcing mlua v0.9 (rc) - Full featured Lua bindings to Rust
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Note rlua doesn't allow you to create native modules with it and has largely been superseded by https://github.com/khvzak/mlua since it's more maintained, has native module support and stuff like Luau and async/await.

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

Lua: Good, Bad, and Ugly Parts
I believe mlua [0] is the recommended Lua Rust binding now.

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".

Moonbit: The fast, compact and user friendly language for WebAssembly
For that world there is also Rhai (https://github.com/rhaiscript/rhai), TypeScript, Scheme, etc.
Though Moonbit does look nice too.

[concept] Modular kernel
The OS would be built in Rust and the module system could be made using ELF executibles (fast, but it could be really hard to implement modules to communicate with the kernel), WASM (can compile from many languages, slower but not too slow, APIs can be simple enough to implement if the correct VM is choses) or even a custom scripting language like rhai (slower, but best way for the implementation [way to connect modules and kernel]).
-
Godot game engine now has its own foundation
For sure, that's where something like rhai would shine: https://crates.io/crates/rhai
What are some alternatives?

rlua - High level Lua bindings to Rust
dyon - A rusty dynamically typed scripting language
lua-lockbox - A collection of cryptographic primitives written in pure Lua
rune - Rune is a programming language developed to test ideas for improving security and efficiency.
lua-cmake - Embed lua with CMake
hlua - Rust library to interface with Lua
assemblyscript - A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.
rune - An embeddable dynamic programming language for Rust.
mun - Source code for the Mun language and runtime.
RustPython - A Python Interpreter written in Rust
lokke - Lokke: Clojure for Guile
