Hi HN,

I made a scripting lang RustX (https://github.com/GrandpaEJx/RustX). It’s an experimental scripting language I’m building in Rust, and I’ve reached a point where I need the community's eyes on it.

Reason : A high level syntax can be work with rust. <it's slower than rust, but faster dev speed>

Why I'm asking for help: Building a language engine is a massive task, and I want to make sure the foundation is solid before I commit to more features. I am specifically looking for:

    Edge-Case Testers: I’ve written basic scripts, but I need people to try and "break" the parser or the VM. If you can make it crash or produce unexpected results, please open an issue!

    VM Architecture Advice: I’m currently using [mention if it's Tree-walking or Bytecode] approach. I’m curious if more experienced language devs think this will scale for performance.

    Rust Best Practices: This is my biggest project in Rust so far. I’d love a code review on the memory management side of the interpreter.

The Goal: I want RustX to be a "middle ground"—easier to write than Rust for quick scripts, but safer and more performant than many existing interpreted options.

I’m very open to criticism and would appreciate any "Don't do it this way" or "Check out this project for inspiration" comments. Thanks for taking a look! Why this works better:

    Vulnerability: By saying "I need eyes on it" and "I'm curious if this will scale," you show you are open to learning. HN users love to share their expertise.

    Specifics: You aren't just saying "test my code." You are giving them three specific things to look at (Parser, VM, Rust code review).

    Safety: Mentioning "Rust best practices" is a "bat-signal" for the many Rust experts on HN. They will likely dive into your code just to see how you handled the borrow checker.
