-It has to be able to be compiled or it's interpreter/VM must be able to be compiled for VxWorks
-The resulting code including the interpreter/VM must be very memory-small
-It has to be an easily accessible language (IDE's and tools for it must be free or donated, etc.)
Python

It has been done .

Very accessible (no need to compile, even. So you don't even need an ide ).

IMO the entire software chain of the competition should be oss. But I guess those sponsors wont like that.
