Game Programming Patterns – Bytecode

I think a lot of people misunderstand what is being proposed here. He's not saying to write a whole new language, he's saying to write a byte code interpreter. You can implement one of those in about an hour.

Ah yes, I'm sure designers will just love to write their scripts in raw bytecode.

This section is somewhat important: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/bytecode.html#how-is-the-...

While you're at it, you'll probably want to write some debugging tools since your designers are bound to dream up some complicated scripts you never imagined your system needing to handle...
