Embedded and sandboxed scripting languages in Rust (programming.dev)

I want to allow the users of my project be able to write the driving logic, while I provide the tools. What are some embedded scripting languages in Rust that can be sandboxed and are easy for absolute beginners?

edit: Thanks for all of your answers, I decided to go with lua using mlua

As a sysadmin Python is very far from a better language than Shell, it is much too fragile over time for that. You can't even rely on a Python script running unmodified on the oldest currently supported OS versions and the latest ones.
