Child

Child is an esoteric programming language in the vein of Brainfuck. It is cell-based like Bf, but it is oriented to support data processing.

There is an input string and an output buffer. A few commands read input character-by-character, allowing end-of-data detection. The program takes the input string and the program as shell parameters.

The interpreter has a "register" which catches the hexadecimal numbers found in the program. "2a+" adds the byte 0x2A to the current cell, for example.

The implementation is placed under the terms of Tcl/Tk's BSD-style license.
