Description
This version switches the host part of luals entirely to a Rust implementation. The related build tool directly uses Cargo. It is not fully completed yet; it can run on the Windows platform for now. I do not have the equipment to test it on other platforms.
I created this repo as a way to learn Rust and did not intend to replace the original luals. It simply provides another possibility for multi-platform compilation.

Research direction
The issue points to the separate lua-language-server-rust repository and says its host uses Rust and Cargo, with Windows as the only tested platform. Start by reviewing that repository and the existing host/build integration; no files, tests, or completion criteria are named, and cross-platform completion is not defined.
