I am evaluating options for a scripting language to embed at my company.

We mostly make indie games, and we use managed frameworks (Unity and XNA). This means that we need a solution that works with both Mono and .Net, and we'd rather avoid stuff that is too slow.

The possibilities we are considering are the following:

1. python
2. lua
3. F#

The features we require are:

1. continuations/coroutines
2. decent performance
3. integration with Mono and .Net (compatible type systems)
4. [optional]. ease of extensibility to add new combinators such as multithreaded coroutines
5. [optional]. easy bindings

I know for certain that I can achieve all requirements in F# with a custom-built monad (I h开发者_开发知识库ave several working prototypes which are ending in a few products) but I would gladly jump to another solution if it is proven to be better!

As you're using .net anyway, any of the .net languages might allow you the easiest implementations. From a learning perspective etc. I'd prefer Lua any time due to it's rather simple basic constructs and syntax rules.

I have a weird-er suggestion for you. How about using C# or VB.NET?
You can dynamically compile scripts and save the assemblies. This way you get minimum loading time.
You can also register them in the GAC and have no worry!
