Would you consider Lua fits those requirements? The reference manual is short, the online guide and book simple to follow, and the syntax consistent.


I don't speak for others but I would find Lua much more suitable than Javascript, for non-browser applications.

However, it's ridiculous that I cannot easily just use Lua for browser applications!
