Ark

For context: ArkScript is a small scripting language in C++, made to be easy to embed in apps, quite minimalistic When I started working on a website for ArkScript, I drew inspiration from other proglang websites to see what I could show, what appeared to work or not work to grab people attention. What I got out of this was a good documentation going straight to the point (I think I'm on a good track, though this can always be improved) and a playground so visitors can try the language without installing/compiling anything. Here we are now, with a very minimalistic playground, that was forked from another project with way more functionalities (https://github.com/ryusatgat/ryugod), tailored for ArkScript and the needs I have (using it as a playground/small online IDE on the go and to embed it in the project documentation so that you can tr

The wiki (https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/Ark/wiki/Embedding#creatin...) calls them “plugins” and they’re also called “modules”, which I think is a lot clearer than “FFI”. Essentially it’s a bunch of native functions that are exported with C linkage and compiled into a set of shared libraries, which are then loaded and the functions in them looked up at runtime. On the other (C++) side it’s similar to e.g. a JNI binding or any other language where you can pull values out of the runtime.
