I believe lua is often used in this role these days. I've gotten the impression that it is light and easy to integrate, but I haven't tried it myself.

- throwaway81523 2y agoYes, Lua is quite easy to embed and is popular in game development for that reason. It appears in a few other applications like Redis as well. But, in the big picture, it's a weird language that is not very popular. People want Python and/or Javascript, and JS is awful, so that leaves Python ;).
- f1shy 2y agoI do bot understand the downvotes. Maybe because of wording “weird”. Give me a break, I think it has a point: much more people can do Python as Lua. I do like Lua, but if I just try to use it in my work, I would be paria.
- throwaway81523 2y agoI had figured people didn't like the dig at JS. Unfortunately the WAT video is no longer on youtube. It might be on destroyallsoftware.com.
