Daslang (formerly daScript) is a high-performance, statically strong-typed scripting language built at Gaijin Entertainment for games and real-time applications. It offers three execution tiers (interpreter, AOT to C++, JIT via LLVM) with near-zero-cost C++ interop and can be embedded in a C++ host or used standalone.

Use cases

• embed a fast scripting language in a C++ game engine
• replace Lua with zero-marshaling C++ interop
• script game logic with hot reload
• AOT compile scripts to C++ for consoles
• write standalone applications in a statically typed scripting language
• prototype gameplay code that recompiles in seconds

When to choose

• you need a fast embedded scripting layer for a C++ game engine or real-time application
• interop overhead between scripts and C++ is hurting your frame budget
• you target consoles where JIT is forbidden and need AOT
• you want compile-time macros and static typing in a scripting language

When to avoid

• you need a mainstream language with a large ecosystem and hiring pool
• your project is not C/C++ based, since interop is C++-centric
• you want a dynamically typed, beginner-friendly scripting language like Python or Lua
• you need mature third-party libraries beyond the standard library
