i think it is impassible to do this all alone you need someone else you need a lot of people to make commands to program to test and more it's impassible but don't give up it could happen if you have a lot of people to work with and i think it is impassible to do alone

No, it's actually quite "passible". it's a good little one-man project.

I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

     Right here!
    We will help the OP.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_C_Compiler
    That is a start. You can see how somebody else did a very small C interpreter.
    cats of course, he does not have to duplicate that effort. That would be pointless. But it should increase him to see how that that individual along with others developed a very small implementation of a language that is considered to be rather difficult.
    In the original poster could call his new language almost anything he wants. There are no fast and hard rules about how you do something for your own entertainment. As long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
    Also, the language does not even have to be complete. It does not have to pass any academic standard. It does not have to be flawless. If it produces some result that pleases the creator, that is good. Whether or not other people would approve should not be the criteria. Now some point, he might want to publish his work. That would be another issue.
    A simple interpreter with a built-in line editor can be made in about all I would say, maybe just under 3000 lines of code. I just don't remember. That was a long time ago when I did that.

    No. It isn't, actually. It might be overwhelming if they had no design; but they have already planned out a good bit of the project, and once you have a good design the programming behind it often comes a lot easier.

    Oh, and I wrote a far more comprehensive and complicated Script language myself.. one person. It literally took a single night after good design much like the original posters, whereas many of my other whimsy project that I go into without any real plan take ages, and even then I usually end up scrapping it all and starting again with the design stage.
