I hope you're wrong about this one. I guess I might have some trouble gaining stake holders from even Lua supporters who view it as a best language for every layer. But Rust has an incredible amount to offer Lua, especially when used primarily as a higher-level scripting language, for glue code.

Additionally, anyone whose spent any significant amount of time in that space knows of the amateur alternatives, and this looks no different.
