Embedded scripting languages

What scripting language would you embed to a program? The performance would not be main issue, since the compiled part of the program would worry about that.

The scripting language would call many functions written in C, C++, or whatever lang that can compile C-like functions (so there needs to be some kind of easy to use FFI).

I thought about options here:
- Lua
- Scheme (tinyscheme or whatever)
- Something else?

Now, what would /prog/ use, and why? ("Read SICP" is not a valid answer here)

It's just Algol with keywords instead of brackets. If you're a lisper that's cool, but you really have nothing to complain about if you prefer Python or whatever.
