Ask HN: Have you created a programming language and why?

Excluding school projects and toy languages, who here has created a programming language and why?

I'll go first. 13 years ago I created a specialized language for processing XML data. XmlPl marries the syntax of C, XML and XPath. It is very fast and efficient. It never caught on. See http://xmlpl.org.
