Title: I&#x27;ve been thinking about writing my own programming language for some time. This to gain a deeper understanding of how programming languages, and by extent, computers work. I&#x27;ve bought the Flex and Bison book by John Levine to have a resource on parsing and lexing. I have come to realize however, that writing a complete language like Java, Python, Ruby, from bottom to the top, is of course not a small task. So therefore I started to think of writing maybe a compiler for another language, writing a &quot;simple&quot; language like SQL, Markdown etc. to begin with.<p>What are your experiences when writing a new programming language, where and how did you start?
