Do Rust and Lua work well together?

• druid

  59 9,359 4.0 Rust

  A data-first Rust-native UI design toolkit. (by linebender)

  

Concerning GUI frameworks, the most common ones are druid, egui and iced. All three of them run native and on the Web.

• egui

• Godot

  2,744 82,940 10.0 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  

If it's a game, probably the Godot Engine. It has its own scripting language. It can also use Rust code, but that's a bit in flux right now because they're currently rewriting native code integration.

• bevy

  573 32,210 9.9 Rust

  A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

  

Amethyst was abandoned a few years ago. The best game engine written in Rust at the moment is bevy, but concerning multiplayer you're on your own there.

• qsv

  13 2,214 9.9 Rust

  CSVs sliced, diced & analyzed.

It works quite well IMHO. Using the mlua crate, I’ve managed to integrate Luau as a very powerful data-wrangling DSL for qsv (https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv)

• piccolo

  6 1,248 8.9 Rust

  An experimental stackless Lua VM implemented in pure Rust (by kyren)

  

The rust ecosystem is doubling down on wasm with little to no focus on lua (some would even prefer to build their own programming language) that doesn’t mean lua is pretty bad for the rust ecosystem it’s just that there’s no much focus as to compared to wasm Example I noticed is https://github.com/kyren/luster

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• mlua

  17 - -

I'm not a specialist about text based multiplayer game, but from what I saw on Wikipedia it seem doable to do it with Rust and Bevy. On top of that you can add a layer of LUA with https://github.com/khvzak/mlua (or write your own bindings and sandbox later).
