Any open source version? Also, to people who have implemented their own language interpreters before, is the description enough to attempt an open source version of it? Might be a fun exercise to try to implement it in jison.

There's a start of an open source implementation of Mathematica called Mathics, which is written in Python. Javascript would be an interesting choice for a toy implementation, especially because there are orders of magnitude more javascript installations than python, and much more effort put towards making javascript fast. And who knows, maybe the toy would turn into something more serious.

  Brian Beckman presented a session at YOW!2012 where he briefly discussed the possibility of implementing the Mathematica language in Javascript. http://yow.eventer.com/yow-2012-1012/term-rewriting-in-javascript-for-fun-and-world-domination-by-brian-beckman-1276 http://yow.eventer.com/yow-2012-1012/term-rewriting-in-javas...
