How about in Scheme?  I have written/am writing a Scheme interpreter
in Modula-3 that I am happy to release with CM3; it's very easily
extensible (that's sort of the point of it), so one can easily add
low-level features to it as necessary.  The system would be
self-contained with that interpreter.  Maybe writing scripts in
Scheme is a little "weird"... (but I do it :-) )
