I think it is a matter of taste and habits to choose tools for
language prototyping. I've tried a lot of them and written a lot of
them too. These days I use programming language DINO.

A simple syntax directed tranlation is a part of the language. It is
implemented with Earley's parser. Curently I am writing an optimized
compiler prototype on it. So it might be good for you too.


Your task is close to my son's project. He implemented a simple
programming language interpriter on DINO as a school project. You can
find his presentation on
