  3. dyon

    A rusty dynamically typed scripting language

  4. steel

    An embedded scheme interpreter in Rust

    Project mention: Why I'm Writing a Scheme Implementation in 2025 (The Answer Is Async Rust) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-18

    Also a shout out to Steel (https://github.com/mattwparas/steel), another Scheme-on-Rust which is more active.

    The Rust community has given us at least two Scheme runtimes, several JS runtimes, but no Clojure interpreter yet that I'm aware of. There are a few zombie projects squatting on the name (seems common in Rust) but no viable releases.

  5. goscript

    An alternative implementation of Golang specs, written in Rust for embedding or wrapping.

  6. dune

    A shell🐚 by the beach🏖️! (by adam-mcdaniel)

  7. koto

    A simple, expressive, embeddable programming language

    Project mention: Roto: A Compiled Scripting Language for Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-21

    > It looks like Rust. All Rust scripting languages do.

    Not koto (https://koto.dev/) which is one of the reasons I appreciate it. I want an embeddable language targeted at my users, rather than myself which I feel Rust-like ones do. I also want an embeddable language not tied to my implementation language so if I change one, I don't have to change both. Koto only supports Rust atm but I don't see why it couldn't be supported elsewhere.

  8. duckscript

    Simple, extendable and embeddable scripting language.

    Project mention: Duckscript | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-19

  9. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

  10. endbasic

    BASIC environment with a REPL, a web interface, a graphical console, and RPi support written in Rust

  11. loxcraft

    Language tooling for the Lox programming language.

    Project mention: Crafting Interpreters with Rust: On Garbage Collection | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-31

    This is really well-written!

    Shameless plug: you may want to check out https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/loxcraft. I too followed the path of "ignore safe Rust for maximum performance". It got pretty close to the C version, even beating it on some benchmarks.

  12. atom

    Shell scripting that will knock your socks off (by adam-mcdaniel)

  13. CLEO-Redux

    JavaScript runtime for GTA 3D era games/GTA IV/Bully

  14. oxide-lang

    Project mention: Show HN: Ad Astra – scripting language platform for Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-29

  17. marie

    A toy programming language in rust

  18. slang-v2

    Simple scripting language interpreter
