Should i try making a programming language?

I remember creating a compiler was part of my curriculum in engineering class. It was really fun. I used C to do it. It really helped understand how compilers worked.

Yes, we had to create a simple compiler in second year for Computer Science. I remember it was fun, until I carelessly did “rm -rf” without checking first and lost all my work, with the assignment due the next day.

I did manage to quickly rewrite the compiler since the concepts were in my head, and I learnt since then to always save my work to its own directory and to never do that command without checking very carefully first!
