Hello! I am writing a programing language in Ruby called Rorth. It started life as a forth interpreter, but quickly morphed into its own language. You can find Rorth at [http://github.com/indigo747/Rorth](http://github.com/indigo747/Rorth) Features: Conditionals! Loops! An Interactive System! Stack Based! Pure Ruby! Fairly Simple Code! Opportunities for Obfuscation! Rorth code is split along spaces, and each chunk of code is interpreted separably. In the process of interpretation, the code is analyzed to see if it defines a word, to see if it’s a primary, to see if it’s a loop or if statement, and to see if it is an existing word. However, once it has checked each piece of code, it does not move directly onward to the next piece of code, it moves on to the next check. This means that if you have a function “\_word”, that is \_word surrounded by double quotation marks, it will execute “\_word” and will move “\_word” onto the stack. Huh. !! Note !! Note that Rorth is not full featured. It does not include comments, arrays, multiple stacks, or any IO functions more complex than printing out a number. This is, however, because the project currently has one developer who happens to be a student with very little time to add new features. This project needs devs! Please contact me through github, through my blog, [geeklob.wordpress.com](http://geeklob.wordpress.com), through twitter, macs4all, or identi.ca, “indigo”. Thanks for you time and help, -Indigo ---
