I wonder, at which point it is worth it to make a language? I personally implemented generics, slices and error propagation in C… that takes some work, but doable. Obviously, C stdlib goes to the trash bin, but there is not much value in it anyway. Not much code, and very obsolete.
Meanwhile, a compiler is an enormously complicated story. I personally never ever want to write a compiler, cause I already had more fun than I ever wanted working with distributed systems. While idiomatic C was not the way forward, my choice was a C dialect and Go for higher-level things.
How can we estimate these things? Or let's have fun, yolo?
