I would like to embed lua within rust, like for example a user points the program at a lua program that configures things (similar to rc files) and passes the config to my rust program, like how neovim does it.
However, I'm not seeing how i can do this with the lua embedded libraries like lua (https://crates.io/crates/lua). Specifically, I'm tripping up own how my lua library would "talk" to my rust code. How would i do this?
Ah, it seems that with mlua i can load a lua file, and call a function defined in the lua file and access the return value. Thanks for your help! (mlua also seems much more documented than lua, as it has examples as well.)
