An easy to use embedded scripting language for C++. ChaiScript is one of the only embedded scripting language designed from the ground up to directly target C++ and take advantage of modern C++ development techniques, working with the developer how they would expect it to work. Being a native C++ application, it has some advantages over existing embedded scripting languages. There are no external tools required, no preprocessor, no libraries, just your C++14 compliant compiler. ChaiScript is fully tested for 32bit and 64bit on Windows (MSVC2013), clang++ and g++. ChaiScript has been making stable releases since 2009. No bug fix or feature is made without a corresponding unit test. By default ChaiScript is thread-safe. Thread safety can be disabled for enhanced performance. ChaiScript is licensed with the BSD license and is free to use in your free or commercial projects.
