MoonSharp or How we combined JSON and LUA for game ability management
Some of you may be familiar with MoonSharp LUA interpreter for C#, often use in Unity engine to add scripting support to your game. That's what we took as a base for writing the code for abilities. Each ability can subscribe to different events such as whenever a card takes damage, is placed on the field or ability is used manually on some specific targets. Besides having event handlers we needed a way to specify some metadata like mana cost of abilities, cooldown, icon, etc. and in the first iteration of the system we had a pair of JSON metadata file and LUA code file.

Edit script on running game?
Rather than making your own language, just add Lua to your project. Moonsharp is pretty good with Unity...

Creating my own ecosystem.
With my recent foray into Lua programming, and seeing just how many pure Lua modules there are for some tasks (like lua-lockbox for crypto primitives), and the fact LuaJIT can interface pretty easily with any C ABI, I've definitely considered it, especially since I could modify existing software to shove a Lua interpreter in for my needs.
