In the short six months I've spent learning Rust, I became inspired to bring the power of its stability and reliability to Luau. While many project have already ported Rust-isms like Result, Option, and Future to Luau, I found a total void when it came to deeper implementations like Iter<T> or std::collections.
rusty-luau is an experimental project born from the goal of implementing almost all features of Rust. while sharing "Rusty" code styles and conventions. I'm not yet sure how practial it will be for production or game development, but I believe these kinds of challenges are what drive the Luau community forward.
Yes, I have only been studying Rust for six months. I expect to rely heavily on AI during this project, and I know I have much more to learn Rust myself. Also, I discovered that a project with the exact same name existed about two years ago (implementing Result, Option, and Future). It was completely unexpected, but since that project appears to be inactive, I've decided to move forward with the name rusty-luau. I hope you can understand.
