This is a great resource for pointing out the things you need to think about in designing a language.

To see the nitty gritty line-by-line walkthrough of everything that goes into actually building a language (all the way down to writing your own VM) I HIGHLY recommend reading Crafting Interpreters[1] by Bob Nystrom. I’m not a language hacker but found everything about this book worthwhile and very interesting.
