If your target only has two KB of RAM, Lua is a no-go, I guess. But skill-wise, I can highly recommend it. The reference manual is very well-written, the Lua language itself is very nice and easy to learn, and Lua's C interface is very pleasant to use; and again: the documentation is very good. (Also, the community is very friendly!)
If you ever take a shot at it, the Lua Users Wiki (http://lua-users.org/wiki/) is a good starting point.
