Rust Luajit

Open-source Rust projects categorized as Luajit

Top 4 Rust Luajit Projects

  1. mlua

    High level Lua 5.4/5.3/5.2/5.1 (including LuaJIT) and Luau bindings to Rust with async/await support

    Project mention: Koto Programming Language | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-29

    This is already available as an optional Lua target in mlua [0]. I recently built a programmable server for Server-Sent Events scriptable with Lua [1]. I chose Lua 5.4, but it's trivial to switch it to LuaJIT, or really any other Lua derivative including Roblox Luau. It's just a matter of enabling the mlua feature you want.
