The MiniD (has been renamed Croc) programming language is a small, lightweight, extension language in the vein of Lua or Squirrel, but designed to be used mainly with the D programming language. It supports both object-oriented and imperative programming paradigms, as well as some simple functional aspects. Distributed under the licence of zlib/libpng, MiniD is free software..

Example from the web:

module matrix

local SIZE = 30

function mkmatrix(rows, cols)
{
    local count = 1
    local m = array.new(rows)

    for(i: 0 .. rows)
    {
        m[i] = array.new(cols)

        for(j: 0 .. cols)
        {
            ++count
            m[i][j] = count
        }
    }

    return m
}

function mmult(rows, cols, m1, m2, m3)
{
    for(i: 0 .. rows)
    {
        for(j: 0 .. cols)
        {
            local val = 0

            for(k: 0 .. cols)
                val += m1[i][k] * m2[k][j]

            m3[i][j] = val
        }
    }

    return m3
}

function main(N)
{
    local n = 1

    if(isString(N))
        n = toInt(N)

    local m1 = mkmatrix(SIZE, SIZE)
    local m2 = mkmatrix(SIZE, SIZE)
    local mm = mkmatrix(SIZE, SIZE)

    for(i: 0 .. n)
        mmult(SIZE, SIZE, m1, m2, mm)

    writefln(mm[0][0], " ", mm[2][3], " ", mm[3][2], " ", mm[4][4])
}

Example from Wikipedia:

function first(x: array|string) = x[0]

 writeln(first([1, 2, 3])) // prints 1
 writeln(first("hello"))   // prints h
 writeln(first(45))        // error, invalid parameter type 'int'
