MRuby[1] is another option in this space. From what I can tell the work for MRuby began around the same time as micropython, though micropython has seen more adoption.

I was surprised nobody mentioned mruby in this thread until now. It's tiny, super easy to embed, and Ruby is a fun language.

Also, mruby has the benefit over most of these other languages of having had a recent thorough security audit[1].

It's still quite huge compared to Lua, not to mention slower. And gems need to be enabled at compile time.

mruby has a much higher adoption in Japan, but I don't think it ever really caught on outside of it
