Choosing scripting extension - need advice

• starlark-go

  Starlark in Go: the Starlark configuration language, implemented in Go

  

If you want Python syntax, https://github.com/google/starlark-go is nice. It is the configuration language interpreter for Bazel, so it is well maintained and stable But that also means features, move slowly and some things that you would find in the standard library for CPython need to be grabbed from a different community maintained repo. It's also, in my opinion, a little less smooth moving back and forth between the scripting language and your code. Code. That said, both are great choices in my opinion. Some people like Lua. I'm sure I would like it if I wanted to spend time on it, but I'm already pretty comfortable with the other choices so I haven't.

  Discontinued Expression language and expression evaluation for Go [Moved to: https://github.com/expr-lang/expr] (by antonmedv)

  

We use https://github.com/antonmedv/expr at some other place for similar case, but there rules are bit simpler and this library seem to suit ideally for such simple "one line" conditions.

  A JavaScript interpreter in Go (golang)

Googling suggests https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto which allows scripting in javascript for golang projects. This would be definitely enough, but in some way it may be a bit overkill - and scripts supporter shall need some knowledge of javascript which is not always straightforward :)

• goja

  25 4,974 6.3 Go

  ECMAScript/JavaScript engine in pure Go

For JS in Go use goja, which offers excellent integration with Go. Also I maintain an extension that adds Common-JS compatibility to it.

If you're curious how I set it up, check out blender/flamenco on Gitlab. The Goja/JS stuff is in internal/manager/job_compilers.

  An opinionated lightweight web framework built for scale

If you're interested, I have another project in which I use TypeScript (tsc) to compile to JavaScript/Common-JS that is compatible with goja. It works really well.

  🐹🕸️ WebAssembly runtime for Go

  

If performance is your main concern, there's Wasmer-go, but if you'd rather avoid CGO dependencies, there's wazero.

• starlight

  1 0 0.0 Go

  a go wrapper for google's starlark embedded python language (by sourcegraph)

  

Pretty surprised no one has suggested starlark - Very nice ergonomics on both the scripting side and the interpreter. Worth a look! Especially nice when combined with starlight

  Yaegi is Another Elegant Go Interpreter

  

You could also embed a Go interpreter, and have your scripts or expressions in Go. See for example https://github.com/traefik/yaegi. Disclaimer: I'm the author of this project.
