In the early 90s I created a small custom language. The purpose was to learn/build a compiler though, but other projects came along so it was eventually scrapped. I did get fruits from it though in terms of how compilers work.

I also came up with an idea to build a common intermediate compiler so you could use C/C++, asm, BASIC, custom language etc. on top, then a descriptor/translator file would compile to a common assembler base. This was on the Amiga (and some years before .Net).
