The original motivation was to prove mostly to myself that something was possible. It is not a tough problem but very time consuming. It turns out that I enjoy doing it and I like the result but I am wondering if I am wasting my time. I remember reading on HN someone who had spend 6 years of his life writing a programing language as a personal project. No one will ever use this language. Would you call is a waste of time or an amazing journey ? It all depends on the motivation for sure, but motivation is not always 100% up and feedback and the possibility to talk to someone is important and this is what I miss really.
