Now, that's an esoteric choice of language. I'm curious about the rationale to chose Angelscript over the more common scripting languages.

I've only ever seen Angelscript used in an extension to a 22-year old game. AFAIK it's purely interpreted and mostly just very simple to integrate. (And somewhat more secure by default because it's so simple and interpreted)

Any serious product using it which depends somewhat on performance should probably integrate V8 or something similar instead. The Angelscript language is very similar to Javascript etc. but so niche that you'll keep having to look stuff up.

It will also be more difficult to find contributors.

IIRC Maya has responded to this with something along the lines of “It’s a pet project and I like AngelScript”, which I’d deem fair.
