Sounds like you might want to explore Forth a bit. Punyforth on the ESP8266 is a convenient way to try get started hands-on, Jonesforth if you want to learn how you could go about implementing one.

On bigger devices (PC/SBC/...) with an OS, Tcl/Tk is a wonderfully effective programming tool!

...While checking the nRF52811 product specification to learn more about this chip, I found out that it contains a Cortex M4 CPU. You can research some of the existing Forths for these processors (myself I find a tethered Forth convenient to work on CPUs like this).
