One of my personal project has a requirement to have scripting support, and while the research of the options is still in progress, I’d like to share my preliminary results. The initial requirements for the scripting language were having the smallest footprint, but good functionality. That has given a start to the Embedded Languages Footprint project. The requirements are quite specific though (please see below), hence the most popular languages like Lua and Python are not considered suitable, but were included for the reference. For now, the most promising languages are Chibi-Scheme and Wasm3, but it’s still on-going research and final choice will be made later. The major requirements: C/C++ only (to ensure the best portability); No extra compilation dependencies (to build with the bare devkits); Actively maintained (to compile without its source code changes); Strong typing (to reduce the number of possible errors); Permissive license for both...
