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

Boa is a remarkably well-developed JS runtime written in Rust. Nice API, and well sandboxed. We’re considering adopting it for Biome as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. Though JS itself is a pretty weird language and has some weird behaviours, I'd rather not use it. It's also a bit too advanced for my use case. (somewhat simple control flow, maybe some math, etc.)
