Benchmarks of embeddable languages for C#

Written in .NET 9

Benchmarks focused on runtime performance

• [CSharpToLang] C# to scripting language fuction call in loop
• [LangToCSharp] Scripting language to C# function call in loop
• [Alloc] scripting language array is filled with simple object in loop and returned to C#

Scripting languages

• ✔️ Lua-CSharp Lua 5.2
• ✔️ Mond Mond
• ✔️ MoonSharp Lua 5.2
• ✔️ Lua.NET Lua 5.4
• ✔️ Jint Javascript
• ⏳ Wren Wren
• ⏳ NLua Lua 5.2

✔️ Implemented | 🚧 WIP | ⏳ Planned

Other libraries

• BenchmarkDotNet for performance and memory allocations tests
• xUnit for unit testing
