You can make an interpreter in the language you know already. Interpreters are much easier than compilers, so you should start with that first. It's not that hard. First, build a lexer which will split all lines to tokens, and based on the tokens do some operations. This is essentially what all interpreters do.

Sure. That's often used to hide implementation details and builds a so called Domain Specific Language. But you can also develop another programming language. Google compiler design, formal language, grammar, ... and start your journey.

Yes, you can do this. You should describe your language using BNF. And then create a compiler with tools such as Flex Bison .
