For map scripting, EE currently has Small (which is now considered deprecated, due to some major portability issues [i.e. supporting 64-bit and whatnot] that weren't known about when it was added) and at least a partial implementation of Hexen's ACS. I'm not sure exactly how complete its ACS support is at the moment; I generally just rely on voodoo doll scripting, for the time being at least.
As for the future, there's also a new language/API being worked on called "Aeon", based on ECMAScript (aka JavaScript), which is planned to eventually be expanded to allow for a "scripts anywhere" approach: map scripts, scripts directly inside UDMF fields, scripts in EDF to create custom codepointers, etc.
