There are a number of good choices for embeddable, extensible languages: SIOD, Guile and Python all come to mind, though whenever you talk about programming languages there's more opinion than fact available. Some of those even include "shell" variants, like CLASH, LUSH and SCSH. But the closest thing I know of that's a mainstream language designed for embedding with convenient access to shell commands is Perl.
