I wrote a few of these due to an interest in compilers and hardware.
The easiest syntax to copy if you’re looking for a high level language is Smalltalk.
But most of the time, I wouldn’t even use that. Simple imperative languages that look like BASIC works pretty well in most domains. If you simplify the syntax a little, it’s very easy to understand the compiler and use it for say when you want users to input code into existing systems.
