What's the simplest language to implement?
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish by writing "a language", extending an existing language or making a syntactically-different language that compiles to an existing language can be both fast and rewarding. For example, I made https://github.com/8byt/gox in a couple days with no prior language-design experience (gox is to Go as JSX is to Javascript).

GoKart: A static analysis tool for securing Go code
Long ago I hacked together a weekend project with a friend of "JSX for go" that allowed embedding html tags into Go source like people do for react. We were pleasantly surprised how readable and flexible the Go parser source code was, even for the pretty dramatically different syntax we were trying to support.

Forth on the XMOS CPU?
Probably what I would do is write a minimal forth interpreter in C, and then use that and a few core words to bootstrap the rest of the system. It is a bit more complex than that, but here is the software which does it.https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/lbForth
