Here we come full circle to the beginning of the thread where somebody
mentioned Lua;
Javascript is very, very similar to Lua, modulo the syntax, and Lua's
metatables. LuaJIT is faster than V8, last time I checked, and both are
only really usable on PC (V8 does have an ARM implementation, AFAIK).
And Lua is somewhere between one and two orders of magnitude smaller to embed.
