Jeanine Adkisson - Design and Prototype a Language In Clojure

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at designing and building a language, only to be driven away by ancient and obtuse tools? Clojure makes an excellent sandbox for quickly designing and prototyping new language ideas. This talk lays out a roadmap for the aspiring language inventor, from design to parsing to building a runtime.

My favorite talk from clojure/west. Providing a high-level perspective on a subject we often overlook until it's too late. I love the slide of accidental languages, around 15:06.

This is a fantastic and useful talk, filled with conceptual clarity and practical wisdom. The lessons here are very much worth taking to heart.
