I need small a cross platform scripting language with "c-like" syntax that extends my application.
The language implementation should already exist - i.e. I do not want to develop the language.
Also, the implementation should not be covered by any GPL restrictions (or similar) that prevents me from using it in my application.
The cost of using it should be free or very low.
I have checked Small and LUA already, but I want something closer to C.
Requirements:
* Language must have 32 bit wide unsigned integer
* Implements most features of the c language.
Task:
* Suggest a language.
* Create trivial console application that demonstrates sending messages from the script the application and getting values from the appliction
