About:
Rhai is an embedded scripting language specifically designed for Rust applications. It allows developers to add scripting capabilities to their programs, enabling runtime configuration and logic modification without recompilation. The language features a Rust-like syntax and provides seamless integration with Rust types and functions.

Key Features:

Rust-like syntax for easy adoption
No external dependencies - runs entirely in Rust
Tight integration with Rust types and functions
Lightweight with minimal footprint
Safe sandboxed execution environment

Use Cases:

Game logic scripting without recompilation
Configuration file automation
Plugin systems for Rust applications
Business rules engine implementation

Alternatives:

Lua – More established but requires C bindings and has different syntax
Python – More feature-rich but much heavier and requires separate interpreter
JavaScript – Familiar but needs engine like V8, adding significant complexity
