Try and find an AngelScript example. It's stupidly hard. Compare it to these web sites:

Sadly Rust fails this too but at least the Playground is only one click away. And Rust is mainstream anyway so it doesn't matter as much. I completely failed to find a single AngelScript example accessible from my phone's browser. Even its Wikipedia page doesn't have any.

I made a prototype that works in 3000 lines of C

It was super fun. I'm going to be going in a different direction (Lua implemented in Lua, with Lua-library assemblers and assembly type system), but it's certainly very possible

Nice! Pretty interesting syntax. Not sure about / for comments or the function argument syntax but you have a solid point about not using " or ' for strings!

Thanks :)

FYI the real power of / for comments is /token to comment out one token. So useful to add a bit of doc sugar when calling something

    call(x\sugar)

    call(x/*sugar*/)

Perhaps Roblox's Luau? It is Lua with gradual types and a sandbox-enabled VM [1]. "Luau aims to be backwards-compatible with Lua 5.1", so yep, still 1-based array and string indexing :-).
