The program for CppCon 2019 is now live! Lots of stuff happening this year. See the link to build your schedule.

[ChaiScript @chaiscript]

ChaiScript 6.1.0 has been tagged and released!

Many minor improvements with lots of patches from users. Main feature is support for compiling in C++17 mode (a patch was necessary due to breaking changes with noexcept in the type system in C++17)

My game engine is loading my @chaiscript code from a custom @ogre3d_official ResourceManager \o/
Have to do the same with audio files now!

[Arthur Brainville @Ybalrid]

Annwvyn "in engine" debug console now has input, piping them to the scripting interface made with @ChaiScript (and a huge pile of lamdas)

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

Currently #ChaiScript does not allow you to redefine a function with the same signature. Should that change?

[Dr David Roberts @biomood]

Really enjoying how easy @chaiscript is to setup and use, much easier to interface with C++ than Lua

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

Calling for real-world code examples for how you use embedded scripting to help me optimize #ChaiScript https://t.co/aAn8Ay0PYS

[ChaiScript @chaiscript]

@MJKlaim reference assignment (auto &val = other_val or auto val := other_val) then the new variable shares ownership

[ChaiScript @chaiscript]

@MJKlaim If you push a shared_ptr into chaiscript, it respects it. It can automatically unwrap values as shared_ptr, and if you do 1/2

[ChaiScript @chaiscript]

@MJKlaim including object lifetime - there is no garbage collection, object lifetime is well defined by scope, like C++

[ChaiScript @chaiscript]

@MJKlaim We try to model C++ semantics with the difference being that function args are pass-by-reference

@chaiscript 5.8.1 released. Fixed that locale dependent floating point parsing. https://t.co/nF5K9UKGwD

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

I can see the utility in having run-time scripting capability in my C++ application.

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

When @ChaiScript drops MSVC2013, what's the minimum GCC it should support?

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

Is it OK to drop MSVC 2013 support in @ChaiScript yet?

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

I'll be in the Lee's Summit, MO area early next week if any #cplusplus @cppcast @chaiscript people want to meet for beer / coffee.

#ChaiScript actually has me excited about integrating a scripting language into my scene graph/2d game engine! #Lua es no bueno for c++.
