Is Ruby easy to embed in a C program?

Yes -> https://mruby.org

It's also incredibly easy to extend the main Ruby implementation with C, C++, Odin, Zig, Rust, Fortran, etc... Literally a few lines.

  • The main Ruby implementation is also fairly easy to embed. It's just not easy to embed multiple MRI ruby instances in a single application, and it's also a lot bigger than mruby.

RPG Maker used to embed Ruby before it was cool (and before they switched to JS for web support).
