Almost all languages these days follow a C style syntax, noted by Allman-style block coding, semicolons for line termination, and cell/array based data types (C-Style strings).
Small was originally called "SmallC", it's meant to be a tiny, compact version of C which can run on an embedded machine. While certainly not the best of scripting languages or machines, it IS compact and easy to learn, and the fact that it doesn't compile to stand alone machine code (instead, to bytecode) makes it cross-platform.
