I'm relatively new to programming, and I would like to write a simple scripting language as an exercise, and to learn a bit. I have experience with Python, C, and Ruby, and would like to learn to write a scripting language in Python. What should be my first step? How should I start?
draw out a finite state automata of how your language is going to work, write a syntax analyzer, draw some diagrams. Hack on!
