there is hugs, which is a small, fast haskell interpreter. It is 
embeddable ( exposes a C api for embedding - it is written in C), 
supports many language extensions and can be stripped down (in terms of 
libraries) as far as you like, but is now often forgotten, overlooked in 
so far as haskell implementations go.
