One additional thing. I think that before now it was ok to make just a compiler because there was so much additional infrastructure support. Now you are doing your own thing so you will need to make most of the infrastructure up yourself. The most important piece of that is a good debugger, and a good plugin for an editor that supports immediate syntax checking (like in eclipse).
