This is a yawner, Postscript (the language) is very simple, given run of the mill interpreter machinery. An actual working Postscript implementation is about graphics and font rendering, not the language interpreter. That stuff is still not trivial.
Writing a tiny interpreter is one of those exercises that teaches you more about programming languages than months of just using them
