> But first of all, why am I writing this language? The short answer is: For fun. > One of the first things I usually hear is “Why don’t you target LLVM?” (or some other runtime), and the answer is: because that wouldn’t be as much fun. Sure, it’d be much easier to get “production ready” that way, but as I said, the goal here is really to learn and have fun. This is awesome. So glad to see people writing languages just for fun. For anyone else into that kind of thing, check out #proglangdesign on freenode. Several really smart people who also just want to write languages for fun often chat there, about language design and implementation.
