If you don’t know me yet, I have been working on ArkScript for nearly 6 years now. ArkScript is a scripting language in modern C++, running on a custom virtual machine (like Python or Lua), with the goal of having a syntax easy to learn and use, a C++ interface to embed it in programs, and decent performances (without trying to be as fast as Lua though, Mike Pall is a genius and did outstanding work on LuaJIT).
