Welcome to Ripen, a stack-based scripting engine with highly readable syntax, that can be implemented with little code and effort in a language like C++ or D. It's informed by RetroForth and PostScript, but diverges from either in important ways, not least due to its string-threaded nature. Surprisingly, Ripen only seems to be about 6 times slower than the host language on a quick test — much better than for other language families.

Ripen is based on the principles explained in this 
notimetoplay.org/cgi-bin/wiki/More_about_tiny_scripting_engines: interpreter construction tutorial. The point is having a tiny engine, easily copy-pasted into any application, even hidden inside a bigger module. For this reason, the default vocabulary is kept small.
