If you're interested in implementing languages in Python, I've been enjoying watching the development of Porth[0], a stack-based, forth-like* language on Twitch.
* See readme disclaimer that there's no actual connection to Forth other than the stack-based design.

Ive found a good general rundown that I mostly agree with here: harm-less
Hey guys, i have released beta release of arch based customized distro phyOS iso image. It is mostly using (modified) suckless tools for most of its functionality, also comes with calamares installer . If you want to take a sneak peek, you can try the live iso without installing!
