Bolt: A Blazing-Fast Embeddable Language

Bolt is a lightweight, lightning-fast, type-safe embeddable language for real-time applications. It boasts exceptional performance, outpacing other languages in its class; a compact implementation minimizing build size; blazingly quick compilation (over 500kloc/thread/second); ease of embedding (just a few lines of code); a rich type system for catching errors before runtime; and an embed-first design prioritizing inter-language performance and agility. Currently, Bolt builds on x64 and has been tested on MSVC, GCC, and Clang compilers, but is still under active development and not yet stable.
