Besides the syntax FORTH ist the only embeddable high level language
which has both intepreter and compiler built in.
It has a small form factor too.

One alternative could be something like WABA (http://waba.sourceforge.net/).
Besides the wrong license it would mean to have pre-compiled byte code on the
FS and no chance to recompile on the fly...

Or ECMAScript as a pure interpreted language.
