I'm working on a new programming language and every point resonates with me on a spiritual level. One thing that helped me a lot was writing more integration tests at the outer edges of the application, opposed to unit tests of individual modules. Usually the logic doesn't change between rewrites, so keeping a somewhat stable interface keeps me from breaking stuff in between grand rewrites.
