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?

There Are Two Main Languages That Power iOS: Objective-C and Swift. You can use other languages to code iOS apps, but they may require significant workarounds that require more effort than needed.
While most developers use popular IDEs like Xcode and Sublime Text on their Macs, few realize that their iPhones and iPads can also handle coding apps.
In 2010, Apple started developing Swift, a new programming language that would rival Objective-C in a few areas–specifically, type safety, security, and better on-hardware performance. Swift is more than 2.6x faster than Objective-C and more than 8.4x faster than Python.
I just stumbled upon a really decent description by Twitter user @mysterycoconut of how to get Lua support up and running.
