A copy-paste from "Use Cases" in Janet's README.md:

Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a language to embed in other programs. It's like Lua and Guile in that regard. It has more built-in functionality and a richer core language than Lua, but smaller than GNU Guile or Python.

Chicken Scheme also makes a good language to embed in other programs. As does Gambit.

They are Schemes though.

I like using Hy for these use cases. Because it gives you access to all of the Python module ecosystem while staying in a Lisp-like language.
