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)

Since when does the goddamn language shootout have any weight? It's biased by design as it compares unidiomatic, specially contrived programs only. The Haskell there looks like C, damn it. But if you want to write in C, you'll write in C, not in a C-like Haskell, right? The shootout is bullshit.

Compare stuff that matters

Ooh, so we're playing the game called "denial"? Any place where Python beats Haskell with all its static typing and glorious compiler optimizations and Haskell can only match using a wrapper around a C library, is "stuff that doesn't matter"? Haha.
