These days, a language compiler is only a part of what makes a new language interesting: without tool support (IDE plug-ins) and extensive libraries, your language will go largely unnoticed.
Wishing Stab good luck, the more languages, the better!
To be fair, at the core much of what you're going to be doing is invoking command-line tools. I mean, most compilers are invoked as command-line tools.
Why? Because it is cool and I want to learn more about compilers.
