This book is also pretty good 'Build Your Own .Net Language and Compiler' http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590591348/qid%3D1138881654/203-8687125-0675116. Visual Basic had 'variants' before Microsoft butchered it into VB .NET and the granddaddy of them all, Lisp, is now 50 years old. Don't be a hater, build your own compiler science world. The biggest challenge with developers writing their own parser is that building a parser is quite complicated and requires a lot of coding effort. The advantage of using Instead of building a custom parser, another alternative is using the .NET compilers. The article: Create a Language Compiler for the .NET Framework shows you how to build a simple compiler and gives you the working code! They can parse expressions in all the .NET languages and generate IL code. The thing is, variable typing is now considered to be 'a good thing'. The advantage of compiled code is that execution is quite fast but on the other hand it takes a significant time to compile the code. Dermot Hogan looks at what's required to build your very own computer language using two new – and remarkable – tools: Microsoft's Dynamic Language Runtime and ANTLR3 by Terrence Parr from the University of San Francisco. This isn't actually a new idea.
