Recently I was reading through Safia(@captainsafia)'s post, where they dive into the JavaScript spec to discuss the implementation of the Array.prototype.filter function:
Reading through the algorithm, I felt the urge to implement it. I guess I'm just programmed that way ๐
I didn't, though. I've thought many times that it would be a fun challenge to implement a language spec, and a great way to learn about language design and the choices made by the creators of my tools. But I still have never tried.
If you've tried, what was your experience like?
If you haven't tried, why does or doesn't it sound like fun? ๐ค
(I'm asking specifically about implementing an existing language spec; creating your own sounds fun, too, but not the topic I'm introducing for discussion in this post ๐ another time, perhaps!)
