I'm amazed by people who casually write a new language that actually works well enough to write a complex and highly useful program in.

Wow, that is very easy to miss. Then I went and looked at Copper and it's a significant piece of work by itself. It's self-hosted (written in Copper), and has LLVM, x86, and x64 backends, and is portable to multiple OSes.

First 5 languages are the most difficult.

OP is talking about literally creating (and using) a new language -- not just writing code in a language others created.
