Lua is fast, small, and lightweight. It should be possible to sandbox easily, and persist data structures easily. It doesn't seem to need a syntax preprocessor nearly as bad as Javascript, although it may still be required.

It should beat javascript handily at startup and execution speed.

The language

Lua is a multi-paradigm language

• Designed to allow flexible semantics.
• Which implements coroutines nicely
• Supports flexible sandboxing, although not RAM/CPU limiting.
• Has the Pluto Library for serialization of coroutines/threads.
• Can be embedded from other languages. Is another language even required?
• Has the Orbit MVC web framework
• Can be self-parsing
• Metalua should provide a backend for graphical editing of code
