Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language

Originally made by Bob Nystrom [1] who now works on Dart, it is now maintained by ruby0x1 who is a game developer and most importantly creator of a game engine that uses Wren as a scripting language [2]. Unfortunately Luxe is still not publicly available (closed beta), which I admit is a bit of a frustration for me as I've been following development for a few years, but it does show a lot of promise and in the meantime I've become a happy user of Godot. I keep Wren in the back of my mind as an easy-to-embed scripting language in cases where you could integrate Lua (which Wren outspeeds) but not LuaJIT.

TIC-80 [1] (the open-source Pico-8-like fantasy console) supports writing games in Wren.

Oh that's good to know, especially for games which sometimes must go where JIT cannot (consoles, iOS other than javascript)
