Dear Mathias,

Smallest language I know, therefore easiest to write a compiler for, is Forth.
If you insist on writing the main app in C or C++, there are several Forth's
written in C, which gives extreme portability. Also a recent book by Smith
(I forget 1st name) called "Write your own compiler in C++" includes a disk
with code for producing a --you're way ahead of me!!-- Forth interpreter. I
don't know any specifically C++ features that are required for this, i.e.
you ought to be able to translate to plain C if necessary.
