My ideas for it are far smaller than enterprise applications. I'm thinking simply for my case here, we develope educational software and have many developers working at once. It would be great if each exercise could be compiled as a tiny 20k file,

This sounds ideal for RBScript with a fairly rich context class created.

Check out my ScriptPictureEffects sample at http://www.oofile.com.au/ downloads.html#DownloadREALbasic which exposes the PictureEffects API (for the Einhugur PictureEffects plugin) as well as the standard Graphics 2D drawing commands.

I think this is a lot more viable than embedded Flash and would remind you it is very easy to develop code against such an interface, debugging in RB and then copy and save as RBScript text.

At risk of stating the bleeding obvious, a subclass of the context object sees the methods and properties exposed as directly callable, the same way a script does.
