IMO the only other good embedded scripting languages would be Lua and
Wren. (Well, I like embedding Python via pybind11, but most wouldn't
consider its size to be embed-worthy. ;)

Off the top of my head I know of (if you can't already tell, I'm a bit
of a nerd when it comes to trying out like 20 different things...):

- ImGui: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
- Nuklear: https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear
- SFGUI (though the maintenance activity of this one seems a little
dead...): https://github.com/TankOs/SFGUI
