You can try Small, a C-like scripting language available from
http://www.compuphase.com/small.htm It compiles to bytecode and runs on a
virtual machine, like Java. The virtual machine is also provided.
There is also SeeR, another scripting language (AFAIK in both interpreted
form and compiled form) at
http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~ppodsiad/english/program/seer.htm
For non-C like languages, there is
Pseudo-Forth: a forth interpreter for allegro at
http://www.freeyellow.com/members2/gx2/
Verb, a Basic-like interpreter at http://www.netgro.co.za/ncds/
A variety of Scheme interpreters are available from
ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/scheme-repository
Scheme is a Lisp-like language. minischeme.gz is small and easily
extensible.
