Show HN: Werk, a simple build tool and command runner
> Why a new language?
In my opinion, Starlark (in rust, Apache 2: (https://github.com/facebook/starlark-rust/blob/v0.13.0/LICEN...>) is the way since it is designed for sandboxed environments and also (AIUI) was initially designed to support Bazel, a build tool
Now, I'm totally on board that people can hate on whitespace sensitive languages, but if my choice was "make my own language that no one has ever heard of" or "delete the Python hater's emails" ...
It also would mean that you could tag your Werkfile in .gitattributes with linguist annotations[1] and they'd syntax highlight, which isn't the case with your own language https://github.com/simonask/werk/blob/5990c8a9536a1a76c3da59...

What config format do you prefer?
I haven't seen anyone mention starlark yet. It's something I want to play with as a config language.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Aside from these, if you want some inspiration for a production-grade language built in Rust, you might want to go through the source code of Starlark and Gluon.

Launch HN: Moonrepo (YC W23) – Open-source build system
There is also a Rust implementation of Starlark as a starting point https://github.com/facebookexperimental/starlark-rust
To add to everyone else, please don't use YAML. Starlark is great _precisely_ because it is a readable, well known (nearly Python) language that is limited at the same time (no unbounded for loops, no way to do non-deterministic things like get the current time or `random()`).

Benchmarking Starlark against other embedded scripting languages
This is a follow-up to Benchmarking mlua/rlua/rhai - Rust embedded scripting languages from 4mo ago; I just added the new Starlark implementation from Meta to the benchmark posted by @aleksru.

Making an interpreter for variable length byte-code, any way to use enums for this and not just a big u8?
u/ndmitchell has been working on a Starlark interpreter. He wrote up a blog post with some thoughts about different interpreter styles. He found that in his case using fixed sized instructions was about the same as byte-encoded ones, but compiling the AST to closures was also about the same performance as well, and doesn't need an AST->bytecode compiler.
