Couldn't sleep, had an idea churning around in my head, so I sketched out an idea that has been bounding around in my head for a long while.

So here's an MVP of scripting a Rust program using Lua where the Rust-defined module has documentation and auto-completion exposed to the Lua LSP through a generated definitions file.
Ultimately I'd love to make a fairly open ended "game engine" that caters highly specifically. Like RPGMaker but significantly less functionality.
I'm picturing a Pathfinder 2e inspired CRPG engine that supports custom campaigns being loaded from lua-defined mods and DLC. And I myself have a few stories I'd love to tell that work great for that particular framework. Especially since I can't convince any of my local friends to play pathfinder with me
Anyway, this isn't particular to making games, so if anyone out there wants to make something in rust with a robust API for lua scripting, enjoy this delicious example!
