New alternative for clap (declarative, basic and simple)
Currently i'm using it in cargo-make but will also use it later to parse args for duckscript commands.

Are there any embeddable languages in rust?
At it's most basic you could make a really simple interpreter by just doing such a thing, and there is essentially already such a simple language like that built for/in rust called Duckscript (rust has a surprisingly large number of little embedded languages), and that would be completely and entirely sufficient for many purposes, though if you want speed then you'll need to JIT or AOT the code, which is why wasm is so handy as you can interpret or JIT (or even AOT it with wasmer) without the much larger overhead of a, for example, javascript or java embedded runtime.

IconCalc – Spreadsheet Engine and Ecosystem
I wouldn't want to create a language just for this. Maybe use a language like Lua or perhaps Rhai[0]. By design extending and embedding IronCalc should be very easy. Work in this direction will not start in the next 9 months though.

Moonbit: The fast, compact and user friendly language for WebAssembly
For that world there is also Rhai (https://github.com/rhaiscript/rhai), TypeScript, Scheme, etc.
Though Moonbit does look nice too.
