Really cool! Roughly how much memory does it take to include it in an engine? Also I'm really interested in the process of creating these really fast scripting languages, have you written anything about how you wrote Bolt?
Bolt's memory usage in most cases hovers right around Lua 5.4/Luau in my own testing, but maybe I should include a few memory benchmarks to highlight that more. It does notably have a higher memory overhead during compilation than other languages in this class though.
As for writeups, I'm working on putting out some material about the creation of Bolt and my learnings now that it's out there.
