I'd use a new version of TCL, and cut out all the stuff you
don't want the users to have. Even last time I looked, the
core embedable language was not that big. Even better, it is
easy to cut out commands you don't want, and that can make
it even smaller. I agree that the syntax is a bit odd, I
think you will find that most of the oddness is in control
flow that you would not use in a simple data checking type
application.
