Making your own programming language is not that hard. It's understandable to think that it is, because large, common languages have millions of lines of code and hundreds of thousands of commits authored over decades. But don't compare yourself to them - just making a scrappy language to fit your precise problem domain can be done in a couple of thousand lines of code and a couple of weeks. It's also super fun! (I've done it before...)
