Which situations would that be?
- nobody16 10y agoApplication configuration. Code is data, data is code.
- dman 10y agoMultiple interpreters in the same process.
- electroly 10y agoShipping it inside a larger application, like in games, as a lightweight script language. Guile and Lua are both purpose-built to be embeddable libraries rather than intended for standalone execution. It's certainly possible to embed Python (anything is possible!) but it's a minority use case and not as well-supported by the tooling.
