user47827: Both Minsc and Sapio are high level scripting languages that compile down to Miniscript. What are the differences between the two? When should I use one over the other?

user101850: The two have very little to do with one another.

Minsc is a scripting tool for defining keys.
Sapio is a compiler framework for defining covenant contracts.

You could, if you wanted, use Minsc from Sapio as a plugin for defining the unlocking conditions in any given Sapio program path, but you could not use Sapio inside of Minsc in the same way.
Sapio does not compile down to miniscript; it has it's own compiled object format that contains miniscript. There is other stuff in there as well.
