Lune: A Standalone Luau Runtime

Lune is a standalone Luau runtime written in Rust, providing an environment similar to Node.js, Deno, or Bun for other languages. It features fully asynchronous APIs, a small footprint (approx. 5MB zipped), and comprehensive support for filesystem, networking, and standard I/O. It boasts world-class documentation and offers a familiar runtime environment for Roblox developers, including a 1:1 task scheduler port. An optional library for manipulating Roblox place & model files and their instances is also included. While it can run some Roblox games, Lune's primary focus isn't full Roblox compatibility, but rather a performant, concise Luau development environment.
