What about Lua? The language is very minimal, memory safe, and has Pascal-like syntax just like Delphi.

Agreed, but the recently-released v5.5 fixes that [0], and it's fairly easy to fix this in older versions with the following snippet
setmetatable(_G, { __newindex = false, __index = false })
Or conversely, everything is an off-by-one error in every other language :)
Lua's variables being global by default seems somewhat error-prone.
