There's a start of an open source implementation of Mathematica called Mathics, which is written in Python. Javascript would be an interesting choice for a toy implementation, especially because there are orders of magnitude more javascript installations than python, and much more effort put towards making javascript fast. And who knows, maybe the toy would turn into something more serious.
