I am quite nervous while asking this question, but let’s say one wants to create a language.

What materials & tools one could use to get started on this path of madness ??

EDIT: I wanted to create an alternative to Javascript😂 with a syntax similar to Bash

    A nice tool to start with before delving in more proper “language” coding, I would say, is LARK, it’s a pretty easy parser that is also relatively versatile and powerful, I doubt that it would be fitting to make an actual programming language but it could help you to the next steps.
