Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
ChaiScript
- Using C++ as a scripting language, part 6
-
How to use C++ as the core language for a Fantasy Console?
If you want to use C++ for scripting, take a look at Jason Turner's ChaiScript
-
Enabling C/C++ compilation in an application.
3) Similiar to 2, but use more common scripting languages: chai, cs-script, sol2 (c++ framework to embed lua)
-
ArkScript, a language designed to be used in C++ projects, now has macros
A few years back I actually went and made a ChaiScript based video game engine (https://16bpp.net/blog/post/masala-a-chaiscript-game-engine/). The end goal for it was to be able to make a Pacman like clone, but have all of the game logic implemented in ChaiScript. I actually found out as I added more realtime elements (implemented in ChaiScript) that it started to take much longer to process the game logic; the "game loop FPS" was under 60, which is not good. I actually proposition that ChaiScript move to a bytecode VM (https://github.com/ChaiScript/ChaiScript/issues/266), but I'm guessing that no movement was made on that front.
- Is it advisable to embed python in c++ ? Have anyone tried it, what is the best way to do it?
-
Looking for a codegen library that uses C++ for scripting
Maybe ChaiScript? It is not exactly what you are looking for, but very similar, in my opinion.
CppSharp
-
Recommendation for software to aid with creating a C# wrapper around a c++ library
Or take a look at the tools CppSharp or SWIG, s.a. Example for SWIG to wrap C++ library in .Net 6.
- Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
-
COM or C++/CLI layer for long-term maintenance?
I would give CppSharp a crack first. It generates a .net wrapper using pinvoke.
What are some alternatives?
Lua - Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.
SWIG - SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
V8 - The official mirror of the V8 Git repository
CefSharp - .NET (WPF and Windows Forms) bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework
Duktape - Duktape - embeddable Javascript engine with a focus on portability and compact footprint
pinvoke - A library containing all P/Invoke code so you don't have to import it every time. Maintained and updated to support the latest Windows OS.
squirrel - Official repository for the programming language Squirrel
PythonNet - Python for .NET is a package that gives Python programmers nearly seamless integration with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and provides a powerful application scripting tool for .NET developers.
Wren - The Wren Programming Language. Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language.
Sharpen - Sharpen is an Eclipse plugin created by db4o that allows you to convert your Java project into c#
sol2 - Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:
CXXI - C++ interop framework
