This is sometimes called "portability by ease". I'd say many languages 
there are fulfill this criterion. Also, I have to suggest you take 
a peek at http://www.purists.org/esoteric/, which has many good
candidates.

I think the easiest path to go is character-based Forth with 
string-based lambda functions for control structures. As for computation,
lambda expressions are _the_ swiss army knife for everything.
