"rust scripting" is using AOT compiled Rust code to control dynamic behaviour within the app. Dioxus's "native" backend does not use a JS engine. Most of the code for Dioxus Native is in https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz. And the Roadmap is at https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz/issues/119

"interpreter.js" is for Dioxus's "web" backend which runs in browsers (who instantiate the JS engine). All it does is interpret "patch commands" to apply DOM mutations.
