I'm extremely interested in language design, I'd love to work on a language after school (masters CS student graduating in May). I built a compiler from scratch for a course which was beyond rewarding, and I've built a toy language with PLY (python lex/yacc).

What tips do you have for someone interested in language design that would like to do it professionally? Should I be trying to contribute to an open source language? Should I continue to develop toy languages for experimentation?

Thanks!

Great advice. Yes, because it seems a bit niche I'm finding it hard to learn more about. And I'll never want to let my baby languages go... but true nonetheless.

Thank you!

That's a great suggestion, thank you!

And yes, you're absolutely right.
