good language for internal DSLs

It's tiny, mature, and performs well. Its syntax is minimal and straightforward, but it still supports a number of fancy features. It's embeddable. It's portable. It's extensible through a mechanism somewhat like a meta-object protocol. Its C interface is remarkably convenient.

It's Lua. You didn't think I was describing Ruby, did you?
