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.

Steel β An embedded scheme interpreter in Rust
A Lisp, a weird dialect of Lisp, is not better than Lua. Why use Rune [0]?!

-π- 2022 Day 13 Solutions -π-
Late start today as well. I really thought today would be the day that I'd have to abandon my goal of no heap allocations. But, luckily I had an arena allocator available that I could fairly easily adapt to store data on the stack. And with some tweaks we have today's solution:
- α£ the Rune Programming Language

thought you guys might like this monstrosity i created (that i actually use in a project)
I'd have given you bonus points for using a rust styled scripting language like rune but that's pretty neat still

Designing a Rust -> Rust plugin system
I know you said you donβt want to embed another language but IMO Rune is worth a consideration here. It can be a pretty thin abstraction over rust by passing native structs to scripts and calling methods on them. The syntax and semantics are very close to rust so it feels natural. https://github.com/rune-rs/rune

Rune vs Rhai?
The biggest technical difference I'd say is that Rune uses a stack-based machine which makes adding deep C support somewhat obvious while Rhai performs AST walking to execute scripts.

Embeddable Scripting Language for Embedded Rust
A colleague of mine used https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon with great success in our rust projects. Although it probably can't run in a no_std environment.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Aside from these, if you want some inspiration for a production-grade language built in Rust, you might want to go through the source code of Starlark and Gluon.

Modules and Imports
Some languages, like Zig and Gluon have an import expression, where the imported symbols are under a local constant's name. Gluon then also supports destructuring, and Zig has had multiple proposals for years about it, none of which are canon. That is, code like this:
- Gluon: A New Node.js Framework to Create Desktop Apps
- Rock v0.2.1, a little native toy language I've made with Rust and LLVM.
- Gluon: A static, type inferred and embeddable language written in Rust

Fornjot β The world needs another CAD program
This should be a good use-case for rust-based scripting languages, I think.
I loosely followed a project of that kind a while ago, I don't quite remember if it was Gluon [0] or Dyon [1]. Not sure if these are still active, or if another competitor showed up in meantime.
