## Embedded scripting
This engine does not use a UI builder. And so all gameplay logic, entity behaviour, definitions etc. must be implemented directly through code.
Because of this it is important to use a well established language in which the developer can write their code.
Embedded scripting languages are programming lanaguges that are designed to be embedded in a host programming language. The embedded language is often an interpreted language which the host is a compiled static typed language. They allow adding code to the program that can be modified and interpreted at runtime. They are often used to extend on the functionality of the host language. And they also allow using functions defined in the host language which are usually much more performance optimized.
They are usually very lightweight (so that the final binary doesn't get bloated and runs fast enough). They are very useful for cuztom DSL/syntax.
And according to [this aticle](https://caiorss.github.io/C-Cpp-Notes/embedded_scripting_languages.html) they are particularly useful for game engines.
We can also see a list [list](https://dbohdan.github.io/embedded-scripting-languages/) of embedded scripting languages that exist, common ones being Lua, javascript variants, squirrel, and ruby variants (mruby in particular).
These all have a C-ABI, meaning they can be used by almost any compiled language.

(elaborate here on that based on how godot also does so)
