Writing something cool is one thing. writing a language is another. What I'm saying is if you are using an ebook to create your language (on the jvm no less) I expect there are several other languages that people have spent YEARS on that I bet would solve most of the issues you could ever have if you learned them a bit better

* The JVM is awesome. But there are lots of "hosted languages" already on that platform that likely will suit most peoples' needs.

I think its great that we've reached a point in technology that we have people (rather than teams or large companies) creating languages that people can use.

However, if you are looking at books to learn HOW to create a new language you likely haven't answered a more important question: WHY.
