I had fun writing my own BASIC - less advanced, as I had no graphics, but also designed to be embedded in golang applications.
I accept that 99% of the software I publish will have zero users, so even if it's no good for others it is still rewarding for its own sake.
As for why? Nostalgia. The first computer I owned was a ZX Spectrum that booted to BASIC. I loved it. I still love writing in BASIC, and I still play spectrum games under emulation at least once every few months.
My BASIC is like this one, fun to write, fun to tinker with, and at the end of the day it doesn't matter if others don't care/like it too
