I've suggested Atmel (www.atmel.com) that they consider it. That is, they could provide us with demoboards, since I think their recent ARM-based chip would be up to the task. Personally, I've worked with their AVR chips a lot, and do like them. :)

Will take some time until those people (especially marketing folks? ;P ) realize that there'd be more than asm/c for programming their product.

Imho, amount of on-chip RAM is mostly the limiting factor.

 Has anyone got further with this ?

I have seen PIC's with onboard (minimal) BASIC interpreters - i wish to explore Lua for this arena : 8/16 bit, minimal memory (<<64k). It could lose the floating point stuff, and most of math & string, but would need some hard i/o (set bit, test bit, etc) The idea would be a tiny core, with the hardware stuff as chip-specific libraries.

So : how small can lua get ?
