How feasible is it to create your own programming language?

• Charcoal

  1 205 3.7 Python

  A concise language for sketching ASCII art.

  

The worth of the effort depends in what problem it solves. If its a toy for you, that's up to you. If you expect other people to use, it needs some thought and design. An example of one such language of some utility is charcoal which was written to be able to write very short programs for code challenges (they're not intelligible - but they don't take much to type). Another is hexagony which was created to be interesting. Were they worth the effort? Someone thought so.

• hexagony

  12 560 1.8 Ruby

  A two-dimensional, hexagonal programming language.
