rlua VS kaboom.js

There's the rlua package for running lua in your rust app: https://github.com/amethyst/rlua

Some sys crates do embed the source files, like rlua for example.

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.

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.

And.. another binding finally called rlua https://github.com/amethyst/rlua

hlua or rlua are what you want for Lua, rust-cpython or PyO3 for Python, rutie for Ruby, and possibly deno_core for JavaScript.

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].)

Switch to 2D and use kaboom: https://kaboomjs.com/ it is incredibly simple but incredibly rewarding!

But if Lua isn’t really your thing, then you could try out KaboomJS, a similar open-source javascript game library.

kaboom.js - a simple javascript library for 2D games

Kaboom is a Javascript game programming library that helps you make games fast and fun. Building games in the browser has never been so easy thanks to Kaboom from Replit. Github

If you are good with javascript check out KaboomJs. If you feel like something with more advanced features Phaser is great.

this is properly a question for their discord, see https://kaboomjs.com/
