Mana is an actor-oriented scripting language designed for game character actions, with an embeddable C++ compiler and header-only VM. It offers a clean actor model with namespaces and action references, and includes a web playground and comprehensive documentation. While similar to existing scripting languages, its focus on actor-based game logic and easy embedding makes it interesting for game developers.

Target audience: game developers, engine programmers, C++ developers
