I'd suggest Python of the ones you mention, assuming you have enough ram
(a Raspberry pi would be more than plenty).  I use it all the time
myself.  Or if you want something really different and interesting, look
at Erlang.  

Perl is old-school by now, and shell scripts too inflexible.  Lua is
very elegantly implemented and compact but it lacks Python's creature
comforts.  Forth is likely to be too low level for this sort of
programming.  It's virtue is being able to run in very small memory
space, like under 10K of code space and a few hundred ram bytes in an
MCU.  But it makes programming very low level and painstaking, almost
like assembler.
