Yes! I agree entirely, which is why I've been diving deep into creating (and playing with) new languages lately. Turns out a lot of problems that I have to solve at work can be fit into a parsing problem too, so it's not just all theoretical, but the big part of learning how to build languages is appreciating how the ones I use every day work; I can extend them, understand bugs, and push them to their limits. I couldn't do that prior: I always thought it was just black magic that greying neckbeard wizards did off in some ivory tower!
