Finding language designers and programmers


I'd like to create a new and open sourced language.
Since it's really rare to find programmers that actually dealt with compiler theory I need some advice.
How would you make a person interested in your open source project?
How do you bring him to a position where he wants to contribute?
Is there a special place where I can find those pepole (except sourceforge.net)?


Solution

  • It will be very hard to get people interested in your project. History has shown that 99% (at a conservative estimate) of new programming languages are only ever used by their designer. So if you do it, do it for love and don't expect much if any outside interest.
