Don, I haven't used or developed any embedded scripting languages,
but  for what it's worth...

There are quite a few embeddable scripting languages listed at
Wikipedia.

Given my penchant for Scheme, I am interested at some point in using
libguile in a project.  Guile is the "official" GNU extension
language.

On the other hand, if I were going to implement my own, I would
probably want to stick with a simple language.  It seems to me that
writing an ML interpreter would be fairly challenging.
