ChaiScript VS Inja

If you want to use C++ for scripting, take a look at Jason Turner's ChaiScript

3) Similiar to 2, but use more common scripting languages: chai, cs-script, sol2 (c++ framework to embed lua)

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.

Maybe ChaiScript? It is not exactly what you are looking for, but very similar, in my opinion.

I like to use a template engine for rendering html. This way I could use my favourite html editor and add the information from c++ to it. There are some alternatives but I would recommend either mustache or inja. While I used mustache successfully in many projects inja has a more modern feel to it

Also, we need to somehow generate code based on the collected information. Template engines like go template, mustache, jinja, etc. are great for this. We'll write only a couple of templates, on which we'll generate hundreds of new source code files. I decided to use inja in this project. It's a sort of C++ port on jinja for Python.

After some researching, I found inja-library that partially support Jinja-templates and then I've implemented to my app sqlite-gui. But I still doubt whether such a scripting is needed.

I've looked into a newer template engine like Inja, but my client isn't quite happy with that either. Inja allows you to write templates that you feed JSON data into:
