one can implement both Scheme and JavaScript as library functionality in 
C...

nevermind if a dedicated parser, bytecode compiler, interpreter, and 
maybe a JIT compiler, is involved...

one can use a lot of the functionality directly from C as well, but 
granted it is not as nice or necessarily as efficient as it could be. 
say, if the VM's FFI also doubles as a dynamic reflection mechanism.
