Pascal, modula, zig?

Zig sounds mostly like what you want, though: https://ziglang.org/

Possibly a subset of D could work, too:

But likely the D language will be too big?

Nim took some inspiration from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family, notably for its type system. It had an original goal of having a small and simple core, with a powerful macro system allowing extensions where needed, but the language core definitely grew over the years. It's still way smaller that C#/Java/C++. Might interest OP.
