I'm heavily biased, but I think Python is a good candidate for embedded applications. This isn't exactly embedded in my opinion, but the OLPC is almost exclusively written in python and it works well in a limited-resource environment. I think Python's memory use is a bit more deterministic than perl's (based on the other comments in this thread).
I used to think that too, but you had better have a good cache, because otherwise, it'll take 2+ seconds just to start the interpreter. At least it does on of my embedded devices, and that's with a 150MHz CPU.
