Stilted

An partial implementation of a subset of PostScript, with graphics by PyCairo, just for fun.

Some things are just wrong:

• Strings do not nest parentheses.

• Literal/executable bits are stored on objects, so this is wrong:

  null dup cvx xcheck exch xcheck  -->  true false    % PostScript
  null dup cvx xcheck exch xcheck  -->  true true     % Stilted
  

I've written a bit about Stilted on my blog.

To run it, clone this repo, then you can get an interactive prompt with:

$ python cli.py

or run a PostScript file with:

$ python cli.py the_file.ps
