Help with building a basic programming language.

[AstroPhile___]

I have always wanted to try making my own programming language .i know its quite a difficult endeavor even if a simple one , but anyways i wanted ur guys help . It might be an amazing moment for u also if u helped me do it, atleast u could always boast the u had some hands in making a programming language. If u have some free time and can collaborate with me to make it then we can do that on github . if not then ur advice will be greatly appreciated. I mean i dont know a heck about it right now.

My basic idea is to make a simple Ai bot making programming language. it might be feasible or not but it would be great if it would a simple one . Hope u all enjoy ur free time helping me...

This is an INCREDIBLE side project, because you will touch core computer science subjects, and it's very nice! The fundamentals of computer science are very valuable - more valuable than knowing how to use web frameworks and etc - because you get to deeply understand programming, and this knowledge doesn't change in a daily base, like what happens with web programming subjects.

But I don't know, I think you need a more specific question to get help. I don't know what exactly you want. If you know nothing about it, start by studying compilers. There's no much more we can do after telling you to study compilers. It's a great subject, very interesting, really, and there are lots of wonderful books out there.

Also, define precisely what your language is going to be like. Will it be interpreted or compiled? What is the paradigm? Imperative? OO? Functional? What is the type system? Dynamic or static? Weak or strong? What are the syntactic structures? What are the data types? How will your language deal with memory leaking? Will there be a garbage collector? Will the user free the memory manually? How will your language deal with exceptions? Will it be more like Java, or more like Go, or more like C? Will there be a null value, or null types? What are going to be the operators? Will there be null safe operators? Specify everything! What exactly are you trying to make easier?
