Hi!

What about forth?
A ruby interpreter can be done in forth.

:)
But seriously, it should be a cool language.

well, IIRC you can do everything with an asm language with just
SUBTRACT_AND_BRANCH_IF_NEGATIVE..

BTW, in some old matz' presentation he said the design of Rite could
follow that of gForth, whatever it is

No only philosophical questions like calculation of PI can be done
with a Turing machine, not things that need output or input. This is
something you learn immediately when using XSLT which is also turing
complete.

you can do I/O on a oisc cpu
(http://catb.org/~esr/retro/oisc.shar.gz), you just need to put the
value in a specific address :)
