If we agree that a child is a product of their environment, we have to extend that same grace to the parents (and parents’ parents ad infinitum). They are also products of their environments, genetics, and upbringings. Turtles all the way down. It’s unrealistic to expect parents who were given different tools, different neurobiology, and different levels of support to all produce children with identical levels of impulse control. The playing field isn't level.

It’s hard to parse the tone in comments like this, and I’m sorry if am off the mark here, but a little more compassion and consideration makes life and everyone better.

I agree v8 and Deno seems very heavy handed and complex to integrate for scripting capabilities.

Have you considered Lua? It is tailor made for use cases like this. Creating an embedded host in Rust is trivial, the work lies in creating built-in functions for the script runtime so that the user scripts can do useful things to the environment.
