About:
DuckScript is a lightweight, embedded scripting language designed for simplicity and ease of integration into Rust applications. It provides a minimal syntax that avoids complex concepts, making it ideal for configuration and automation tasks. Its primary value lies in offering a safe and flexible scripting solution without the overhead of larger languages.
Key Features:
  • Minimal syntax with a small footprint
  • Written in Rust with guaranteed memory safety
  • Easy to embed into existing Rust applications
  • Supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution
Use Cases:
  • Embedded scripting for Rust applications
  • Build automation and task runners
  • Configuration file logic
Alternatives:
  • Lua – Lua is a more established, feature-rich language with a larger ecosystem, but DuckScript offers a simpler syntax and is native to Rust.
  • Rhai – Rhai is a similar embedded scripting language for Rust, focusing on a syntax that resembles Rust itself.
