One year of Roto, the compiled scripting language for Rust

Roto, a JIT-compiled embedded scripting language for Rust, celebrates its first year with version 0.11.0, featuring significant language improvements including new control structures, data types, and Rust-like syntax. The project has gained community adoption, presented at major conferences, and improved documentation. While still in development, Roto offers performance advantages for Rust applications needing embedded scripting capabilities.

Background

Roto is an embedded scripting language designed specifically for Rust applications, offering static typing and JIT compilation for better performance compared to traditional scripting languages. It was originally developed for the Rotonda project but has since evolved into a more general-purpose tool.
