1. I've been interested in language and VMs about 1 year ago, built http://code.macournoyer.com/tinyrb/ http://code.macournoyer.com/tinyrb/ and a couple other languages.
2. No, it all started w/ a passion for languages. I had the idea to write a book after reading 4 Hour Work Week
3. What do you want to know exactly? I used the keywords "create programming language" iirc
4. Yes, I think it helped a lot. The only "marketing" I've done is on Twitter and my blog (also recently on my site http://refactormycode.com http://refactormycode.com). I was surprised by the success, but I'm now convinced that OSS can pay in a way or another.
