I actually believe fairly strongly that it's not out of most people's reach! I've written before [0] about my process for learning how to build a (simple) language, and the resources that helped me do it / how I approached it. Certainly one of my favorite projects, both intellectually and from a returns perspective. There are so many great resources for building a toy language by yourself (my impl of Ink is a few thousand lines of pretty simple Go code) and it's never been easier. I really think most people overestimate how intellectually intractable it is. Building a production language? Yes, a lot of work. But a toy language for you to use / learn with? surprisingly doable.
