Thanks all for the responses, I have not read or seen any of what you have been playing around with, but I will surely take a look.
Jan, it is true that I have not really given any thought behind what it is my language will be doing, but I think that just for starters, I will be just copying basic java functionality, but with a different syntax so that I can get my hands onto the compilation part of creating a language. In terms of books, does anyone know of any good books that I could read about this topic?
