LOLCODE

http://www.lolcode.com/

I'm now waiting for (a) someone to release a parser (my bet: before the end of the week) and (b) someone to create something that translates this to or from INTERCAL (no idea, probably will happen within the month or not at all if the meme dies soon enough).

Update (6 June 2007): currently there are apparently parsers available for Java, .NET, C, and python. :)

If one wanted to use rpn, it would be insanely easy to implement a lolcode FORTH interpreter.

Go for it. :) (I'm familiar with RPN but I haven't done any FORTH programming. Besides, I'm not short on side projects right now. :P )

20 years ago, when I was actively coding in 4TH, and had all the source code available, I just might have. :)

But just for your edification, here's the source code for the standard FORTH function (aka "word" or "verb") that prints the contents of the address on top of the stack in whatever the current number base is.
