Then you really don't know your interpreters.

Lets see there is 'csh' - a shell (command interpreter) with C-like
syntax. 

Then there is 'ch' by Soft Integration an embeddable C/C++ interpreter

Plus take a look at the references on this page:
 <http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cpp.shtml>

All just do a Google on: c interpreter


I first learned to program in C-like syntax {before ANSI-C was even
defined} by using the C macro interpreter for an editor called Brief.
