I had a huge amount of fun back in those days messing with QuakeWorld and Quake2, learned a ton of stuff.
One project was embedding a Python2 interpeter in QuakeWorld, along with a QuakeC->Python translator. The translator and the resulting Deathmatch and CTF games are here: https://github.com/barryp/qwpython
The other was embedding a JavaVM in Quake2, and instead of trying to translate the C game logic, we recreated the whole thing from scratch in an object-oriented Java fashion: https://github.com/barryp/q2java
Thanks to Carmack for opening up those old engines, that was a real education.
What are some alternatives?

DIYDoom - An attempt to understand how DOOM engine works
pawn - Pawn is a quick and small scripting language that requires few resources.
