Dan is building a forth interpreter on top of parrot. As one would expect with forth, it's apparently relatively simple and straightforward. I'm tempted to see how difficult it would be to create a joy interpreter...

I can't take credit for the base forth interpreter -- that's the work of Jeff Goff. I'm just adding in a bunch of words to the thing, and considering turning it into a bizarre mutant version of forth with a single combined int/float/string/PMC stack rather than split stacks and whatnot.
Oh, and methods. I will add in method calls to it, so it'll be an OO forth. Quite the scary thing... :)
