For an App that is not going to be released on the AppStore I'm looking to embed an interpreter for easy scripting needs. Since I don't really like to get down with pure C, the interpreter should be an Objective C library.

While searching the web I've come across a couple of script interpreters for Objective C but whether those guys work on iPhone is not quite so clear. The one I found that apparently works well on iPhone is LuaCore which brings Lua scripting to iOS Apps.

Which Objective C scripting interpreters have you successfully embedded in iOS Apps?

A: 

Just discovered a post regarding scripting on iOS at answerspice.com.

Based on the post I evaluated Nu and had it up and running pretty quickly based on the Xcode project referenced in this discussion (thanks Tim!). I tested in the simulator and on an iPhone 4. So Nu is definitely among the scripting languages that can be embedded in an iOS App.

I just stumbled upon a really decent description by Twitter user @mysterycoconut of how to get Lua support up and running.
