A standalone [Luau](https://luau-lang.org) script runtime.
Write and run scripts, similar to runtimes for other languages such as [Node](https://nodejs.org) / [Deno](https://deno.land), or [Luvit](https://luvit.io) for vanilla Lua.
Lune provides fully asynchronous APIs wherever possible, and is built in Rust 🦀 for optimal safety and correctness.
## Features
- 🌙 A strictly minimal but powerful interface that is easy to read and remember, just like Luau itself
- 🧰 Fully featured APIs for the filesystem, networking, stdio, all included in the small (~4mb) executable
- 📚 World-class documentation, on the web _or_ directly in your editor, no network connection necessary
- 🏡 A familiar scripting environment for Roblox developers, with an included 1-to-1 task scheduler port
- ✏️ Optional built-in library for manipulating Roblox place & model files, and their instances
## Non-goals
- Making scripts short and terse - proper autocomplete / intellisense make scripting using Lune just as quick, and readability is important
- Running full Roblox game scripts outside of Roblox - there is some compatibility, but Lune is meant for different purposes
## Where do I start?
