A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

What are my options if I want embedded scripting language for my kotlin multiplayform game? I despise LUA from the very depths of my soul, so it would be the last option I would be looking into

Is this what you're looking for"? <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/custom-script-deps-tutorial.html>

Hmm, this is interesting, but looks unsafe. Can it be reasonably sandboxed?

I'm not sure, I haven't really messed with it. I would imagine there's number of thing you can configure with the `ScriptCompilationConfiguration` and `ScriptingHost` for security/safety.

I can recommend <https://typescripttolua.github.io/|TypeScriptToLua>. I'm writing a Factorio mod with it. It's not Kotlin, but it's better than Lua!

I also wrote a tool to help with JSON serialization between Kotlin and TypeScript - <https://github.com/adamko-dev/kotlinx-serialization-typescript-generator|kxs-ts-gen>. This makes it much easier to get data out from the mod to a Kotlin server.
