How to Create Your Own Programming Language - Episode 2: The Lexer
7Creating a programming language is simpler than you might think. My goal with this, potentially short, series of videos is to give you a deeper understanding of programming languages and to not be afraid to start making your own.
In this episode, we'll be building the lexer for our language. I am working in PyCharm using Python 3.11, but you could use any IDE or any language so long as you are familiar enough with Python to convert the code.
