Picol, a Tcl interpreter in 550 lines of C code
Huh! Falling into exactly this trap, I ended up writing a tiny Tcl interpreter for the embedded systems years ago: https://zserge.com/posts/tcl-interpreter/

TCL like interpreter suitable for embedded use
I made my own version of a TCL interpreter (well, a very TCL like langauge) derived from "picol" available at https://github.com/howerj/pickle. There are many different re-implementations and derivatives of this interpreter but they all seem very "crashy", this one has been significantly hardened by using a fuzzer on it which ran for months called American Fuzzy Lop https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/ . It is also more suitable for embedded use whilst still not having arbitrary restrictions like many other implementations.
What are some alternatives?
