We want to add scripting to a project.
We are hesitating which script engine to use. I have used in the past V8 and it's quite impressive. I have used Mono as well but in toy-projects or prototypes only.
The constraints are :
Which engine fits the best ?
(Are there any tutorial for compiling Mono under win64 with Visual Studio? Is there some packages that include Lib files and DLLs ?)
There is an MSVS solution file included into Mono distribution, it is enough for building a library (but you won't be able to build .DLLs, better pick them from a binary distribution). See mkbundle for a way to embed .NET DLLs into a single binary. As for scripting itself, you can either embed Mono C# compiler (it is not that big, and it is easy to integrate) or use any of the numerous scripting languages that target .NET - e.g., IronPython.
