I want to allow the users of my project be able to write the driving logic, while I provide the tools. What are some embedded scripting languages in Rust that can be sandboxed and are easy for absolute beginners?

edit: Thanks for all of your answers, I decided to go with lua using mlua

Would something like Steel work?

The Helix editor is working on adding it as a plugin scripting language. You could take a look at the in-progress fork to see how they're doing it.

PreFix notation for mathematical operations. Hehe.
Interesting for me, but I'd rather not give this to someone who us more interested in making a plugin and calling it a day.
