What scripting language and what implementation would you use with your program written in Rust?

• mun

  26 1,750 7.2 Rust

  Source code for the Mun language and runtime.

  

The other one that you see here a lot is mun which is about hot reloading and has the same almost identical syntax. And once again it's born a short time ago, hard to find snippets, all the rest.

• rune

  21 1,540 9.0 Rust

  An embeddable dynamic programming language for Rust. (by rune-rs)

  

I wonder if Rune would be a good fit.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Lua

  118 7,974 8.5 C

  Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  

For C lua is a thing, for rust there would be rlua.

• hematita

  3 187 0.0 Rust

  A memory safe Lua interpreter

Rust has some good bindings with lua, for example mlua and rlua. There is also a rewrite of lua in 100% safe rust called hematita ( https://github.com/danii/hematita )

• Rhai

  27 3,472 9.6 Rust

  Rhai - An embedded scripting language for Rust.

  

Just want to throw rhai into the hat. It seems like it would have tighter Rust integration, but slower execution speed compared to lua.

• goscript

  17 1,514 6.6 Rust

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

i've never used it but saw this this week, looked interesting: https://github.com/oxfeeefeee/goscript

• deno

  448 92,907 9.9 Rust

  A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  

Deno. Typescript, JS engine written in rust by maker of Node. WASM friendly

• InfluxDB

• mlua

  17 - -

I really love mlua. The api is excellent. You can convert between Rust and Lua values either with the ToLua and FromLua traits, and also serde serialization/deserialization. I tend to use a little of both.

• assemblyscript

  29 16,432 7.6 WebAssembly

  A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.

  

I haven’t tried it yet, so ymmv, but take a look at AssemblyScript. It’s like Typescript with WASM support.

• lokke

  8 185 6.1 Scheme

  Lokke: Clojure for Guile

  

There is even a Clojure dialect, although I don't know how mature it is. https://github.com/lokke-org/lokke

  A Python Interpreter written in Rust

  

• pyodide

doesn't really appear on the crates.io page of mlua.
