Over the past several years I have slowly patched the .NET version of Shen to run on Linux and modern .NET releases. I also learned about Higher-Order Perl the other year and have a dream of going through the book and implementing the exercises in Shen while tuning the compiler.

But while I have had a broad interest in compilers for years and years, it feels difficult-to-impossible to actually complete any of it. Part of it's general depression and time management, part is looking at the long story of these projects and the lack of progression: Stuck in a rut of mediocrity.

No worries. One of my personal compiler projects took over ten years to complete. Still worth it, though. Sped up my programming by at least 20x. (Not kidding.)

Edit: Within confidence intervals that is a 22% per year improvement. Way ahead of Proebsting's law. Surprising.
