Traditionally, one might use Forth ;-)
Yes, one might. This would make one appreciate the difference
between a postfix syntax and an infix syntax.
As one who was once a pretty serious Forth programmer, I would
have fond memories of the days when 16K of external RAM was a
luxury.
Seriously, if you need just a parser to handle commands for
debugging, Forth is a decent choice.
