as title, thanks

in the current form this is not possible and as far as I know there are no plans or even ideas how to change this.

What is possible are so called scriptless-scripts that offer some very limited functionality, somewhat below the bitcoin scripting language.

Q: Is there an intention for Grin to support smart contracts, and if so, will the lightweight, un-programmable nature of Grin be a constraint?

A: The absence of scripting doesn't mean smart contracts are impossible. We already support multi-signature transactions, atomic swaps and should be able to develop a lightning network or confidential assets.
