don't write a programming language because i couldn't do it. also, don't host your own mail server, because i couldn't do that either. /s don't listen to these naysayers, do it and learn. "Succeed" or "fail"; however you define these, there is great benefit to be gained. being able to write a compiler, at whatever level of complexity, is immensely powerful and helpful. don't listen to the naysayers that the compilers class is "hard" -- no matter how far you get, it'll will pay dividends and help you solve more difficult problems more efficiently.
