Dear Friends, Happy Fool’s Day!

A police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to the guy’s window and says, “Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube.”
The man says, “Sorry officer, I can’t do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I’ll have a really bad asthma attack.”
“Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample.”
“I can’t do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I’ll bleed to death.”
“Well, then we need an urine sample.”
“I’m sorry, officer, I can’t do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I’ll get really low blood sugar.”
“All right then I need you to come out here and walk this white line.”
“I can’t do that, officer.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’m too drunk to do that!”

Happy April Fool’s Day!

With the latest QuickPiet language additions I am working on some spec tests which should be able to be used to verify implementations of interpreters.

Updated QuickPiet language spec w/ new assert command, updated docs, and some slight changes to pop, push, etc.

I’m posting my code as I go along as a fork of your gist.
I’m starting in Haskell because the pattern matching makes a lot of the stack operations trivial to implement and Parsec promises to be the easiest way to interpret and execute the actual script.
