Why Lua?
Light - only ~300 KB when embedded.
Simple - Thanks to the mlua crate (https://crates.io/crates/mlua), it's a blast to use in Rust programming.
Efficient - Small Memory footprint, fast.
Powerful - Supports multithreading, async, and ergonomic APIs for Rust integration.
Designed for embeddability, making it efficient, simple, and battle-tested for scripting needs.
