I think (from my limited experience) that Lua sounds like what you're
looking for. The core is written almost entirely in ANSI C and I
remember reading about a group that even removed the parser (but kept
the bytecode loader).

The syntax is pretty friendly, and tables serve as dynamically sized
arrays and associative arrays.

Just watch out for the 1-based indexing.
