Hot Reloading in Rust with Embedded Scheme

2025-01-08

This article demonstrates embedding the lightweight Scheme interpreter Stak Scheme within Rust, a compiled language, to dynamically alter program behavior without restarting the process. It showcases hot reloading functionality by embedding a Scheme script in a Rust HTTP server. Using Stak Scheme and the `stak-build` library, the server's HTTP request handler logic is dynamically changed without recompiling the Rust program.
