Interesting blog post [On Learning Compilers and Creating Programming Languages](https://www.craigstuntz.com/posts/2023-10-13-learning-compilers-and-programming-languages.html).

I like that it separates the two topics in a way that I have not seen in online forums.

> One of the more popular languages that I know of had a Java-like syntax imposed on the designer by management in the late stages of its design. This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Yet it became quite popular anyway.

LOL LMAO ROTFL

I’d be interested in what others think
