At the risk of starting a language flame-war, have you considered
embedding something like Lua?The source of the core Lua interpreter is
small enough that it could be imported into the Qemu repository. There
may also be advantages to having access to LuaJIT (on supported
platforms) for its speed and FFI library [1] which could make it
feasible to prototype new device models in a high level language with
good performance.
