Is there some golang embeddable script language? Like lua in C

[Sunixm]

Hi nuts,

James Gosling once said that every configuration file becomes a programming language

So is there some script languages can be embeded in Golang just Lua in C

It's said the Golang is much more Python like but python is maybe too big to fit the embeded enviroments and not so easy to use as Lua in C since python has mush .dll/.so dependency while Lua is simpler both in libs and syntax

Golang itself has a interpreter experimented in package exp/eval but is it or will it be strong enough to act as a scripy language just as Lua?

Most interesting in this area is Eleanor Mchugh's GoLightly project, a
virtual machine written in go. Among other small languages, she is
trying to implement Ruby with it.

with the speedy compilation, GO is both good at scripting and serious
big coding. I don't want to look back to Lua, Python or Java, if lord
permits.

http://code.google.com/p/gelo/ that's what I wrote this for.

See the "Virtual Machines and Languages" section at http://go-lang.cat-v.org/go-code

There are a number of interpreters and virtual machines, no doubt most of which could be embedded.

There also appears to be a binding to the Lua C api at http://github.com/afitz/golua

What type of scripting are you using Go for? I've only recently dipped
my feet in, but Go feels a little low level for everyday once-off
tasks. I'd love to discover otherwise.

That is also my opinion.

It is very fine for something I would use C for, but not for the high
level programming I am used to.

I'm going to use it for substitute my python scripts that manage my
systems, and also to substitute bash scripts since that it ends up
being code not maintainable.

I prefer to write much but I want to be sure that it will be as solid
as a rock.
