No question about it: Lisp!!

In regard to the unit testing criterion by itself, it doesn't much
matter which version of Lisp (CL, Scheme), so long as it runs in an
interactive mode with a good editor either integrated with it (as with
Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp, or GNU Emacs, where C-x C-e does
read-eval-print on whatever is to left of cursor) or copy/paste back
and forth between the stdio-REP loop and some decent editor (Emacs,
McSink, NotePad, whatever).

Java with BeanShell is a distant second. Nothing else I know of is even
in the running, except specialized Lisp-based systems such as MacSyma.
