- rsp1984 7y agoTo me it looks like ChaiScript is more lightweight and easier to learn.
- Erlich_Bachman 7y agoArgueably a questionable advantage over for example lua specifically, where it is already quite easy, while at the same time having all the benefits of a mature production grade system: speed, stability, portability, talent pool, etc. Even Python could be a contester here...
- jokoon 7y agoIf it's closer to C++ in its syntax I think it's more interesting.
- tcallred 7y agoWould that make it a good candidate for microcontroller programming? I have been looking for something more elegant/functional to program arduino with. Anything about memory size on the site?
- tyingq 7y ago"ChaiScript is a header only library with only one dependency: The operating system provided dynamic library loader, which has to be specified on some platforms." I believe the dynamic library loader requirement is a showstopper for AVR.
- wruza 7y agoNot exactly arduino, but you may be interested with nodemcu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NodeMCU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NodeMCU
- tyingq 7y agoThread aware, exceptions, traditional OO. Guessing because it has features that might line up better with c++?
