serenity VS rust-cpython

https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/: A Discord client, has a file containing formattable endpoint strings that are then passed to a macro to build the endpoint. These endpoints are then obtained by deconstructing an enum with the relevant fields, which is used by the client upstream to make request. I really like this approach, the use of macros and enums feels quite natural.

What would be the best coding lang for this bot, I worked with discord.py in the past but I would like to use Serenity which allows you to make a discord bot with rust.

(https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/pull/1899).

With forced functional programming, you may be referring to serenity's builders? For example

```rust

I am one of the core team members at shuttle, and we've released the support for Serenity (a Rust library for the Discord API) a while back and now we have a tutorial ready for anyone willing to give it a go: https://www.shuttle.rs/blog/2022/09/14/serentity-discord-bot (creating a simple Discord bot, extending it to a weather forecast bot and deploying it with shuttle, for free).

I coded a small discord bot for fun with some friends (using serenityserenity).

For anyone who wants to get a Discord bot up and running (with Rust) - shuttle v.0.5.1 is out, with added Serenity support.

The long term way is to use Discord's interactions system, which involves application commands (slash commands, as well as context menu commands for users and messages), message components (buttons, select menus) and modals. There appears to be some examples provided by your library, including one for slash commands and one for message components, so you could have a look at them to see how to update your bot.

Use this crate : https://docs.rs/serenity/latest/serenity/ / https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity ?

I’m looking to make a discord bot in using the great serenity framework. The only problem is I don’t have any ideas for what the bot should do. I have decent experience with rust and have used it for small webassembly applications at work. I’ve also used serenity a bit to make a Wordle leaderboard for a server. If you have a great idea and want to work on something together, or just want to learn rust, I am definitely willing to teach a bit as well. I don’t care if the idea has been done before, I want to learn as well!

I've never used pyo3, just cpython, but the latter at least let me do things like:

And don't forget https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython to complete the circle

For interoperating with Python, check out PyO3 or rust-cpython. (More generally, see Rust Interop and Are We Extending Yet?)

You probably should learn Rust. Aside from the process of learning new and different languages making you a better programmer, rust-cpython, PyO3, or Interoptopus make it easy to expose Python APIs from your Rust code. (eg. So it's easy to compile the same codebase as both a Python module and a WebAssembly module.)

Have you looked into abi_stable, flapigen, interoptopus, cbindgen, PyO3, or rust-cpython?

Personally, I'm not willing to compromise on my GUI look and feel, so I use PyQt or PySide to write my GUIs against the QWidget API (I'm a KDE user and Python is the only language with mature memory-safe bindings to Qt) and, if the project can be structured with a frontend-backend separation, I use rust-cpython or PyO3 to write a backend in Rust that the Python frontend can import. Sort of using Python/Rust as a QWidget analogue to the QML/C++ architecture promoted for Qt Quick. (Which I don't use because it's still too incomplete on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS.)

also, check out rust-cpython, PyO3, and maturin, among other things. They're really nice options for using Rust for its strengths and Python for its strengths within the same project.

This section uses flapigen to expand the foreign_class macro into many cpython functions as an extension module, and cargo compiles it as a cdylib. If you want to see what that looks like, install cargo-expand and run cargo expand. You'll get a lot of generated rust code.

For Python specifically, In addition to using rust-cpython or PyO3, maturin makes it really comfortable to build, package, and publish Rust code into Python packages and, if your niche doesn't quite fit, there's setuptools-python which might do it.

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