Kudos πŸ‘! I'm working on something similar myself and have seen and overcome many of the same challenges. Making a language is very rewarding IMO.
All this said, I have to give you extra πŸ‘ for the movie quote (feeling, not understanding); it somehow fits the narrative perfectly πŸ˜‰
The final BoJack scene is just perfect πŸ’ͺ

I'm glad you like it! I let this post marinate in the drafts for a while making small changes until it felt cohesive and entertaining enough to post. Looking forward to your post!

I'm not looking to write a post, am far more ambitious for "just" a post πŸ˜‰
The plan is to create several video courses on how to build a language... we'll see how that goes 😁

Awesome! If you need any ideas, @bellmar has an ongoing podcast series on making a programming language of her own at dev.to/mwapl

I may not be looking for ideas, but a fellow language engineer’s work is practically always interesting. Thanks for the link!
