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.

> 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.

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.
