…compliant, aiming for R7Rs and it's embedable like Lua. Probably easier to use in a rust project. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

…a bit to find the extension language. Basically an embeddable Scheme similar to Racket in Rust. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

…thrown off by the fact that they need their own embeddable interpreter for it written in Rust. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

…and I haven't. Bevy is pretty cool though! My drive-by suggestions would be more along the lines of https://github.com/mattwparas/steel , or the very ad-hoc embedded language of https://github.com/elkowar/eww , or perhaps most pertinently…

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…

…is "pick a long-supported standard as an embedded language" then I'd rather go with Lisp (e.g. https://github.com/mattwparas/steel ). Historically, Lua is the fun hobby project newcomer.

Other embedded scripting language is Steel [1]. It’s being considered to be used in Helix [2]. [1] https://github.com/mattwparas/steel [2] https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675

…like Rhai, if I had to choose something for algol-like scripting support. Otherwise I think Steel ( https://github.com/mattwparas/steel ) looks like the most useful scripting environment for Rust currently.

How does this compare to steel? https://github.com/mattwparas/steel
comment by stefanka · 2025-01-08 · in Embedding Scheme in Rust -
Steel seems alright: https://github.com/mattwparas/steel There are other Lisps too ( https://github.com/alilleybrinker/langs-in-rust ) though I think they’re less actively maintained.
comment by alilleybrinker · 2024-09-13 · in Lisp implemented in Rust macros -
I absolutely don't mind the plugin system being a Scheme. It's a plugin for a text editor, and Steel( https://github.com/mattwparas/steel ) seems to be a lot less of a maintenance burden than WASM plugins(besides that I find the WASM…

…a plugin system but they're thinking of adding one for the Steel programming language (a lisp). https://github.com/mattwparas/steel

…this case specifically, Steel provides the facility to call Rust functions within a Steel program: https://github.com/mattwparas/steel . So, although I haven't used Steel, it looks like the advantage you'd get from using it is the…

…then once that is achieved moving on to R7RS. I borrowed the R5RS test suite from chibi here - https://github.com/mattwparas/steel/blob/master/cogs/r5rs.sc... - only a few of these tests don't yet pass. Something like 135 pass, 4 fail, 20…

There is actually already a Scheme interpreter implemented in Rust ( https://github.com/mattwparas/steel ) which has the same name for the exact reasons you stated.
