How about Lua? I don't like Python that much.
I wasn't idly speculating about languages that I personally happen to like better; I was listing the two languages that Netscape was actively considering at the time before they decided to glom on to the Java hype. When I say "we could've had Python or Scheme," I mean Netscape almost picked Python or Scheme.
If it makes you feel any better, I get the impression that Scheme would've been the more likely of the two. Also, this was happening in 1995, so Lua was less than two years old at the time and, according to this page, not internationally known yet (that would happen in 1996).
But we can do it now ^^
