This is a tradeoff: memory gets cheaper http://www.maltiel-consulting.com/ISSCC-2013-Memory-trends-FLash-NAND-DRAM.html http://www.maltiel-consulting.com/ISSCC-2013-Memory-trends-F..., and is much cheaper than time to learn exotic language. Today more important expensive are latency, bandwidth, and programmer time.
Top reason for memory optimization nowadays is to reduce GC delays.
But if you really look for low memory languages, please try Forth https://www.forth.com/forth/ https://www.forth.com/forth/ or Joy https://hypercubed.github.io/joy/joy.html https://hypercubed.github.io/joy/joy.html.
They may provide interactive environment in as little as 2kB https://www.mpeforth.com/xc7.htm#umbilical https://www.mpeforth.com/xc7.htm#umbilical, and interactive debugging for deep space probes https://www.forth.com/resources/space-applications/ https://www.forth.com/resources/space-applications/
