I’ve used it in many games. It’s a simple, but powerful language that uses basically two features (functions and hashmaps) to implement everything. Ex: script files are implicitly functions. Global variables are in a hashmap. Semantically it is very much JavaScript without all the surprises. Semi-technical users (artists and designers) can figure it out and go on to make surprisingly powerful features. The binary code is small and fast. The standard library is small and most of it can be removed easily. Parsing source to bytecode is quick. Loading bytecode is very fast. It is easy to embed. It’s easy to contain it’s memory allocations in an arena. It’s easy to restrict what it can and cannot do. It’s easy to interface with C/C++. It’s extremely portable.
