I found this http://www.cliff.biffle.org/esoterica/beatnik.html today (which is a little introduction to the Beatnik "programming language") and I really wanna play with it, but I haven't been able to find an interpreter. Does anyone know where I could find one?

I tried a Google search but didn't come up with much :(

I lied... I found one.
Except I don't know what language it is in nor how to compile it.
If anyone could give me a little push in the right direction on what the hell this (http://zaaf.nl/emacs/beatnik.html) is written in, I'd be amazingly thankful!

With all the ( and ):s it's gotta be lisp ;) , but this is probably emacs lisp.

Edit: His site states that he finds emacs "the one true editor" :) Funny guy.

Thanks a ton!
I tried using the Emacs Lisp interpreter, gave up on it and found one in Perl instead :)
