I want to allow the users of my project be able to write the driving logic, while I provide the tools. What are some embedded scripting languages in Rust that can be sandboxed and are easy for absolute beginners?

edit: Thanks for all of your answers, I decided to go with lua using mlua

The most battletested way is via bindings to other languages. Ex. mlua with luau sandboxing Or Javascript via v8 or deno_core

There are also a few languages implemented in rust like rhai

There is also the option of compiling the user code to wasm and using wasmtime to run it

Seems like Luau will do. Thanks
