Rojo Alternatives

There are a number of existing plugins for Roblox that move code from the filesystem into Roblox.

Besides Rojo, you might consider:

• rbxmk by Anaminus
• Rofresh by Osyris
• RbxRefresh by Osyris
• Studio Bridge by Vocksel
• Elixir by Vocksel
• RbxSync by evaera
• CodeSync by MemoryPenguin
• rbx-exteditor by MemoryPenguin

So why did I build Rojo?

Each of these tools solves what is essentially the same problem from a few different angles. The goal of Rojo is to take all of the lessons and ideas learned from these projects and build a tool that can solve this problem for good.

Additionally:

• I think that this tool needs to be built in a compiled language without a runtime, for easy distribution and good performance.
• I think that the conventions promoted by other sync plugins (.module.lua for modules, as well a single sync point) are sub-optimal.
• I think that I have a good enough understanding of the problem to build something robust.
• I think that Rojo should be able to do more than just sync code.
