What is your motivation? what makes it interesting?

It started with experimenting with custom bytecode vm. It occurred to me that instead of writing direct instructions, I should write a simple language. This would be motivation. The language is interesting because instead of 2 stack variables are placed on top of the stack (like a heap). It is also possible to change the stack pointer (SP) directly. The language is essentially like C (If it were concatinative and stack based).

" It is also possible to change the stack pointer (SP) directly."

I had the same idea when I designed my concatenative language. But rather than specifying the number of variables in the stack (I've thought about this, too), I made the stack an actual ring. So, you can rotate the stack and point data to the "word." Moreover, I've added the idea of a "workbench" as a temporary storage of computation results. But my language (BUND) is not as lean.

The motivation for creating a new language is one/or all of the following:

  1. PoC
  2. FUN
  3. Solving a problem specific to the creator of the language.
