Hi,
I was reading today this post [1], and i would like to write my own
toy interpreter. The simplest example possible (with or without ruby).
Can anyone recommend me some start points ? (URLs, tutorials, or books )
Thanks.

An excellent book for everything about language parsing and code generation
is "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools"

A toy interpreter is part of the test suite for Dhaka (a parser generator -
http://dhaka.rubyforge.org). There's even a page documenting the interesting
bits:

The whole interpreter is about 300 lines of code.
Mushfeq.
