Huh, of all of my projects, I never expected this to make it to HN. Not the original author but the maintainer, so ask away. Unfortunately, I've not had as much time to devote to this for a while. There are also a lot of weird cases that aren't too well defined or that the Ruby implementation…

You should take a look at Koto Programming Language, I’ve been trying to keep an eye on it. https://koto.dev/

> It looks like Rust. All Rust scripting languages do. Not koto (https://koto.dev/) which is one of the reasons I appreciate it. I want an embeddable language targeted at my users, rather than myself which I feel Rust-like ones do. I also want an embeddable language not tied to my implementation…

Koto's dynamically typed, but optional type checks were introduced in 0.15: https://koto.dev/docs/0.15/language/#type-checks

Yes I would certainly hope so, you shouldn't need to know any Rust if you want to learn Koto. The guide assumes that the reader has some general experience with programming, but not from using any specific language. https://koto.dev/docs/next/language/

Since it's written in Rust, that's the easiest place to use the embedding API. https://koto.dev/docs/0.15/api/ I imagine one _could_ use it from C, but it wouldn't be as ergonomic as Lua's C API. And Lua in turn isn't a perfect match for embedding in Rust

The Koto Programming Language

Here are two real-world examples of using Rhai: https://glicol.org/tour#meta1 https://glicol.org/tour#meta2 I've embedded Rhai in Glicol to support sample-level audio synthesis, and the performance is [acceptable]. Real-time audio is very computationally intensive, after all. I've tried various…
