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

• mun

  15 1,204 6.7 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

  11 848 9.4 Rust

  An embeddable dynamic programming language for Rust.

  

  I wonder if Rune would be a good fit.

• OPS

• Lua

  45 5,029 7.6 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

  3 102 8.0 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

  7 1,452 9.7 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

  9 892 8.7 Rust

  Go specs implemented as a scripting language in Rust.

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

• deno

  158 79,839 9.9 Rust

  A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  

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

• mlua

  8 - -

  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

  8 13,340 9.0 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

  1 116 6.9 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

  41 10,413 9.9 Rust

  A Python Interpreter written in Rust

  

• pyodide

  28 7,264 9.6 Python

  Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly

  

• crates.io

  232 2,074 9.9 Rust

  Source code for crates.io

  

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