Why not Lua ?? Is the marketing department in Lua so bad that this person didn't even consider it ?? Lua's secret trick is that you are really not writing Lua but C - most of the time when I am writing Lua I am actually thinking in C. C <> Lua interlop is probably the best designed API out there and other language designers can take some advice - it does't do traditional FFI but something even cooler using something called Lua Stack. Lua is also tiny ! it can run on embedded devices like hearing aids. And you also have LuaJIT - which is faster then V8 ! but is not as stable as vanilla Lua.
