Nim and Lua are in that pasture. Being fast, memory light, and the C interop are the key features of Lua.

Lua yes, and since the 90s, but Nim? I've not seen that yet. What games use it?

There's integration in Unreal Engine for Nim.

I'm not saying it's widespread, but the language features put it in that field.
