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.

nimpy VS nelson - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 8 Sep 2022
Nelson is an array programming language providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications using modern C/C++ libraries (Boost, Eigen, …) and others state of art numerical libraries. It has sophisticated data structures (including cell, struct, linear systems, …), an interpreter and a high level programming language. Nelson has been developed to be an open/modular system where an user can define these own data types and operations on these data types by using overload.
