For the project I’m currently working on, I’m evaluating options for an embeddable scripting language. Here’s a shortlist I compiled after researching this list:

Gravity (Swift-like syntax, one of my favs)
Lua (The most popular embedded language)
Terra (A statically-typed Lua-like language)
PicoC (Small footprint C interpreter)
Wren (Class-based)
Quirrel (An improvement on Squirrel)
Angelscript (C/C++ like, popular in game engines)
ChaiScript (Easy-to-integrate, C++ based)

Here’s a benchmark of many scripting languages: https://github.com/r-lyeh-archived/scriptorium

Julian Storer, the founder of JUCE, rewrites one of the most used C library in the world, Zlib. In doing so, Julian showcases the coding standards that apply to the JUCE library. Watch on to see how many lines of code Julian managed to reduce Zlib to, while improving drastically the readability of the code and removing all dependencies.

C/C++ trick with logical operators

Let me show a nice C/C++ trick I just found out:

Instead of writing:

if (function1())
 function2();

you could write:

function1() && function2();

because the right side of the && operator is only evaluated (in this case: called), when function1() is true (returns a non-null value).

Subsequently, instead of:

if (!function1()) // or if (function1()==0) etc.
 function2();

you could write:

function1() || function2();

Cool, eh?
