Thank you for post... Wondering if you can recommend any further reading? (Besides your forthcoming book :-) ) I am very interested in this topic, especially how one might make a easy-for-novices programming language. (I am sure there are many existing examples as well.)
Not MY forthcoming book (-: — "Handbook" means the chapters are written by many different people. The main chapter that deals with PLs is this one, though. What do you think it's lacking? (Did you actually read it? <-;)
