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Note rlua doesn't allow you to create native modules with it and has largely been superseded by https://github.com/khvzak/mlua since it's more maintained, has native module support and stuff like Luau and async/await.

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".

What is your favourite Rust specific feature that you miss in other languages?
Some sys crates do embed the source files, like rlua for example.

I hate automod and have a question
Yes though, given that a CCleaner/BleachBit-style situation is going to be I/O-bound, I'd probably go with rlua, PyO3, or rust-cpython for plugins.

Ketos: Lisp dialect scripting and extension language for Rust programs
I wrote up some rust low-level bindings for guile [1]. The problem is that Guile liberally uses setjmp/longjmp, which breaks rust destructors. It might be possible to fix this by wrapping every call the way rlua does [2], but I'm not familiar enough with Guile to know.

Rust's interface to the Lua programming language is called 'mlua'. not Lust. This should get fixed.
And.. another binding finally called rlua https://github.com/amethyst/rlua

Does rust have function works like eval?
hlua or rlua are what you want for Lua, rust-cpython or PyO3 for Python, rutie for Ruby, and possibly deno_core for JavaScript.

I open sourced a game I just released on Steam, written in Lua
Janet is what introduced me to Fennel. Conjure [1] sold me on Fennel over Janet. The Neovim community is rallying around Lua.
(And in fact, what sold me on Rust was its truly excellent Lua FFI support [2].)

What are some alternatives?
When comparing mlua and rlua you can also consider the following projects:
lua-lockbox - A collection of cryptographic primitives written in pure Lua
hlua - Rust library to interface with Lua
lua-cmake - Embed lua with CMake
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
assemblyscript - A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.
kaboom.js - 💥 JavaScript game library
mun - Source code for the Mun language and runtime.
bincode - A binary encoder / decoder implementation in Rust.
lokke - Lokke: Clojure for Guile
msgpack-rust - MessagePack implementation for Rust / msgpack.org[Rust]
moonsharp - An interpreter for the Lua language, written entirely in C# for the .NET, Mono, Xamarin and Unity3D platforms, including handy remote debugger facilities.
