| Aug 12, 2012 at 18:10 | comment | added | Carlo V. Dango | @JimG Yes, it's very easy using the Reflection.Emit API in C# combined with using ANTLR for lexing and parsing most of the work is done for me.. | |

| Aug 12, 2012 at 18:05 | comment | added | Jim G. | @CarloV.Dango: It already generates MSIL...: Impressive. You've convinced me that this is a legitimate question. | |

| Aug 12, 2012 at 17:35 | comment | added | user7043 | @JimG. Well, he already learned something by asking this question, and will (hopefully) learn even more along the way even if the end result is not a "viable programming language". Isn't that good enough? | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 17:30 | comment | added | Jim G. | There's nothing wrong with a hobby project; it's just that people who have a fighting chance of building a viable programming language tend to have more focused questions. // In any case, I highly recommend that you look at Eric Lippert's answer for general advice. Good luck! programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/84278/… | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 17:29 | comment | added | user7043 | @JimG. How the heck does this warrant a downvote? To remind you, the button says "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear and not useful". Also, writing programming languages is awesome, even if they never see any real-world adaption and suck. | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 17:24 | comment | added | Carlo V. Dango | What's wrong with a hobby project?? It already generates MSIL code for a hello world.. so I'm well on my way :-) | |
