Show HN: Mana – an actor-oriented scripting language for games

shun126.github.io

I’ve been developing Mana since 2016 to describe the behavior of game characters.

Character = actor, behavior = action, interaction = request.

It’s designed to be embedded in C++ games. With version 1.0, you can also try it directly in your browser.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on this Actor / Action / Request design.

Despite the characterization as C++ the language looks very much (if not identical) to Rust and makes the same claims. If so, why would I choose this over Rust?? Because of the C++ compatibility? So sad to make a problematic past a requirement for the future.

The site is now https://www.mana-lang.org.

Doesn't seem to have language support, so.. irrelevant?
