Mruby is far more easy to embed in C or C++ programs than other scripting languages. No need to manage the stack, you just get the arguments back in your wrapper function and convert them from mruby to C with a single function call.
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Open-source
Download GIT repo of full source code.
Pro OOP

Pro Embeddable
You can embed ObjectScript in your C++ programs.
Pro Fast
ObjectScript has very fast comiler and VM.
Pro Easy to embed in C or C++ programs.
Mruby is far more easy to embed in C or C++ programs than other scripting languages. No need to manage the stack, you just get the arguments back in your wrapper function and convert them from mruby to C with a single function call.
Pro Small
Pro A powerful, flexible OOP scripting language.

Cons
Con Docs are in Russian
Con Smaller ecosystem than plain Ruby
Mruby is less popular than plain Ruby, and newer. It is less well documented.
Con Using the garbage collector needs some thought
The mruby garbage collector is more eager than that of Matz Ruby. It is sometimes neccesary to call mruby write barrier functions to protect allocated mruby memory from collection.
