Even though it’s very unlikely to become popular (and if so, it will probably take a while), there’s a lot you learn from creating a programming language that applies to other areas of software development. Plus, it’s fun!
I work on a language for a living. It’s fun! It’s a job. But it’s fun.
I’m not super involved with the traditional language parts. The design and parsing and optimization. I spent most of my time on the runtime. We’re embedded in another big system and there’s a lot of things to make it nice.
I spent the day wiring up more profile information for the times the runtime has to go async. Then I’ll fix up some docs generation stuff. Eventually I’ll get back to fun shadowing edge case in the new syntax I’m building.
