It's not elegant but it's incredibly compact and isolated. I embedded it as a language in an iPhone game (as have many others). Making it bridge with Objective-C was fairly straight-forward and the memory/speed footprint was acceptable for a mobile device.

I find it elegant. It's like Javascript with the warts removed.

    It's like JavaScript with different warts. Examples: Bad at Unicode, arrays start at 1, regexps is a second-class citizen, weird OO, arrays are implemented as hash tables (like PHP), hash tables are weird, no int type, Java-like inflexibility wrt extensibility (no generalization for iteration, for example) etc.
