Many languages can be compiled to wasm, and it's quite easy to load and run wasm from rust
That way you could give the user multiple options, they could write it in rust, c, c++, javascript, etc
WASM is a bit overkill and is also complicated. I need a simple scripting language that won't stress the users out. As mentioned in my post, I expect them to be absolute beginners.
I didn't mean that the users would write wasm, just that they could write it in some language, then your program would compile it to wasm and run it
Gives some flexibility as to the choice of language and it runs sandboxed
yeah no no, who writes wasm by hand?
it's just that this interoperability with all languages is a bit overkill. I also don't know how I would expose a rust struct that has methods in wasm
