Jonathan Blow is also writing his own language for games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH9VCN6UkyQ

I think this is great (more languages).

Note that this is not by @strlen (Alex Feinberg)

Jonathan Blow has a whole series on YouTube discussing the language, and at one point there is even a demo of the language and the compiler! The whole thing is really exciting and the language looks well thought out. It's nice to see a system programming language where the focus is more on getting things done than on making the type system pretty.

Yep. And his demo is a little game... :) There's not enough time for seeing all those videos though.
