We use a C implementation for our Nock interpreter. But building a Nock interpreter in another language is a fun exercise. Check out our community Nock implementations, shown below our official C implementation. (Note: the community implementations were written for a slightly older version of Nock, Nock 5K. The current version is Nock 4K.):
