About:
Risor is a fast, embeddable scripting language for Go that provides a secure, batteries-included environment for automation and tooling. It allows developers to extend their Go applications with scripting capabilities and enables DevOps teams to write portable scripts for infrastructure and workflow automation.
Key Features:
  • Embeddable scripting engine for Go applications
  • Secure execution with configurable security policies
  • Batteries-included standard library
  • Fast execution via a register-based bytecode VM
  • Seamless interoperability with Go code and types
Use Cases:
  • Embedding a scripting layer into Go applications for user extensibility
  • Writing portable, secure automation scripts for DevOps and infrastructure management
  • Creating custom CLI tools and rapid prototypes using Go libraries
Alternatives:
  • starlark – Starlark is a Python-like dialect for configuration; Risor is a more general-purpose language designed for embedding in Go.
  • go-lua – Go-lua embeds the Lua VM; Risor offers a Go-native syntax and deeper Go integration.
