Because it's fun. Not everything is a war. I just want to make a language that I would enjoy using. I don't exactly expect it to reach the TIOBE top 10. There is an infinite number of problems out there that "need" solving. The thing is I don't really care about those problems. They'd have to pay money to get me to even think about them. These "trivial" projects though? Those provide me with plenty of intrinsic motivation. I like working with the unseen infrastructure that everybody takes for granted.
