                Have you considered Python? The base language
                itself is simple, clean and easy for beginners and
                        non-programmers. It's dynamically typed and
                        easily embedded and extended.


                        Several folks have ported Python to hand-held
                        and embedded devices by stripping out a lot
                        of modules and things like FP math.


                        The Pippy project (http://www.endeavors.com/pippy/)
                        has a version of Python that runs on PalmOS (with
                        4MB of memory) while "Deeply Embedded Python"
                        (http://www.abo.fi/~iporres/python/) have stripped
                        the Python VM+libraries down to around 120KB
                        for a Hitachi SH1 board with 256KB RAM.
