Dyon is a dynamically typed scripting language implemented in Rust, designed for embedding in Rust applications, particularly games in the Piston ecosystem. It ships as a Rust library plus REPL and script runner binaries, with editor plugins for Atom, Vim, and VS Code.

Use cases

• embed a scripting language in a Rust game
• run dynamically typed scripts from the command line
• try out a scripting language in a REPL
• script game logic without recompiling Rust
• use a scripting language with lifetime checking instead of a garbage collector

When to choose

• you need an embeddable, dynamically typed scripting layer for a Rust application or game
• you want a small scripting language with Rust-friendly interop via Arc<Mutex<Any>>
• you prefer lifetime/mutability checking over garbage collection in a script language

When to avoid

• you need a mainstream language with a large ecosystem and community
• you require static typing or compile-time type safety
• you need high-performance compute-heavy scripting comparable to compiled languages
