It is hard to beat using Prolog for whipping out interpreters. Like Lisp, you get to use symbols in terms, plus you also get to use Prolog's ability to use infix operators to create terms:

    eval(X,X) :- number(X).
    eval(X+Y,Z) :- eval(X,X1), eval(Y,Y1), Z is X1+Y1.
    eval(X*Y,Z) :- eval(X,X1), eval(Y,Y1), Z is X1*Y1.
    
    main :- write("Enter an arithmetic expression followed by a dot \".\" and a newline\n"),
            prompt(_Old,>),
            repl.

    repl :- read(Input),
            eval(Input,Answer),
            print(Answer), nl,
            repl.
