Creating your first programming language is easier than you think.

“The book I want to read.” — Matz, creator of the Ruby language

“I really love this book.” — Jeremy Ashkenas, creator of the CoffeeScript language

Want to create a programming language, but don't feel like going through one of those expensive and boring 1000-page books ? Well, you're not alone ...


The best system to create your first programming language.

The eBook

A 100 page PDF detailing core concepts and applying them to a custom language in Ruby
(included: ePub & Mobi formats).

Most books on compilers are priced at more than $100 and are long and boring. My system, which contains a book (fun and to the point), exercises & solutions, three languages you can use however you want and a screencast, is only $39.99.

And I even give it to you for free if you're not happy.

Join the thousands of coders who created their own language.

“It's been a lot of fun, and surprisingly little work to get a language that covers 95% of what JavaScript can do.”

— Jeremy Ashkenas, created CoffeeScript after reading the book.

“I love this book! It helped me create my own Awesome-to-PHP compiler. It's not a full featured compiler yet but I had a lot of fun coding it and I learned a LOT.”

— Julien Desrosiers, created Phlower after reading the book.

“I never had a chance to study language internals at university, and while very interested, I found their inner workings intimidating. With this course I've found a simple but engaging introduction to the world of lexers, parsers, interpreters and compilers, and suddenly a whole new world in programming has opened up. Highly recommended.”
