Recommendations for scripting/extension languages for Cocoa apps

I'm looking for a good scripting/extension language to embed in my Cocoa app. My first thought was to use something like guile since, based on my experiences w/ Emacs, execution of interpreted lisp functions can be pretty fast. But, since I'm having difficulty compiling the most recent version of guile, and am also completely ignorant as to whether something better might exist, I thought I'd ask for recommendations.

The eventual aim is to implement something like an interactive shell in which users can type commands which are executed by the app. Given this, I suppose I have a slight preference for a language whose syntax is more like C or Java than Lisp, since most users would find that syntax more natural. Another desiderata is how easy it is to integrate the scripting language with a standard Cocoa-document PB project.

Thanks,

Jason
