If you're willing to go the meta programming route, Rust is pretty flexible too. You can literally run python inline using macros.[1]

In my experience as someone that has been using Rust for a few years (and enjoys writing Rust) the biggest issue regarding adoption is that async Rust just isn't there yet when it comes to user experience.[2]

It works fine if you don't deviate from the simple stuff, but once you need to start writing your own Futures or custom locks it gets to a point that you REALLY need to understand Rust and its challenging type system.

I didn’t mean like embed another languages runtime, I meant that they monkey patched Ruby to the point that they where able to run Javascript syntax as if it was plain javascript code.

It didn’t have the js runtime embedded, it was all still Ruby. The point was to showcase how much you can flex and bend the language and turn it into whatever DSL you like.

I’ve been trying to find the video but can’t find it, I believe it’s from RubyCon.
