Small correction -- Lua is written in clear ANSI C, and it=
 compiles 
cleanly with a C++ compiler as well.  It's also been used by many=
 
commercial games and it's incredibly lightweight.  Its syntax=
 isn't 
too bad either.

Lua's biggest "problem" is that it lacks a comprehensive set of 
"blessed" external libraries, something Python is very good with,=
 
however if you just need a scripting language, it's great.

Another, less popular, alternative is Small, which has nice clean=
 
documentation, a familiar syntax and seems to be reasonably=
 popular 
as well.
