Hell yeah, learning how to make compilers should be what a BS in CS is all about. Pretty much everything in computer science can be turned into a language and compilers have almost all of the major topics in CS as one easily explainable thing. It's also one of the few parts of CS that stands on a solid logical proof filled footing and is still insanely practical. I basically teach baby compiler theory at the end of my Python book without people even noticing because I think parsing at a minimum is so important.
