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

I didn't mean that the users would write wasm, just that they could write it in some language, then your program would compile it to wasm and run it

Gives some flexibility as to the choice of language and it runs sandboxed

yeah no no, who writes wasm by hand?

it's just that this interoperability with all languages is a bit overkill. I also don't know how I would expose a rust struct that has methods in wasm
