Is it worth trying to create my own programming language for fun?

It could be a lot of fun, but a word of caution: if you don’t study how languages work, you might just end up reinventing something similar to what you already know, like C. It’s important to understand different programming paradigms!

Why not go for it? If it's just for fun, that sounds great! Fun projects can lead to unexpected learning.

Definitely do it! Designing a programming language can teach you a ton about language design, compilers, and algorithms. You’ll probably discover more than you expect and gain a deeper understanding of how the programming tools we use work.

Absolutely! Every programmer should try creating a language at least once. It helps you learn about compilers and the tough decisions that come with language design. You don’t have to create a fully functional language; even a basic one can teach you a lot.
