As others have noted, this is not actually a Lua engine written in Rust. It is a wrapper over existing C/C++ implementations of Lua. There is, however, an actual Lua engine written in Rust. It is called piccolo.[0]

Is this one of those things that claims to be fast purely by virtue of being written in rust?


Considering one of the project goals at the top of the readme is "Don't be obnoxiously slow" obviously not - it doesn't claim to be fast at all.


the first line of text in the web page is literally "Blazingly-Fast Lua runtime"


You responded to a post about https://github.com/kyren/piccolo, not to the top level post about an entirely different project.

The word "blazingly" exists nowhere on piccolo's github page according to ctrl-f.
