Mad respect to those with that kind of dedication, and everyone working to keep all the dev infrastructure going, but I'm super glad my "I want to make a language" phase was just a passing interest!
That's just a crazy amount of work!

I guess if you have a lot of fairly small ideas with a lot of novelty, I could see the appeal of a new language to express them in.
You could spend considerably more time implementing a Lisp dialect's math library than the interpreter. There are a lot of combinations.
Where are the objects, hash tables, exception handling, ...
Of course you can get some of these things from a host language, but someone had to make them.
