In VDrift: Cross-Platform Driving SimulationI'm a fan or Umka. It is inspired by Go and can be embedded into C programs.
https://github.com/vtereshkov/umka-lang
In Buzz: A lightweight statically typed scripting languageYaegi needs to be embedded in another golang program. It’s a golang module to evaluate golang. Which is cool, but different from what Umka seems to be.
Umka is a scripting language with syntax inspired by golang. A language with its own vm that you can embed anywhere, exsmple: https://github.com/vtereshkov/umka-lang/blob/master/examples....
Yaegi and Umka are two different things.
Edit: of course you can have a golang program that uses yaegi to execute your arbitrary script, and call into it this msin program from C. But how effective is it?
