Can you give me some links to articles describing the developing process of a programming language?Yeah,i'm talking about development of programming language.I searched Google but didn't find almost anything about this topic.After design phase(syntax,keywords,flow control...) obviosly i have to write compiler for the language.I've searched in the net and found some examples of writing compiler,it was written in C.Does it matter in which language will be written?

what sort of language are you talking about? You will need to have some sort of base to run a compiler.

We used a scheme compiler written in scheme (very basic) in a class where we had to add lists, streams, etc functionality to it. It is a very complex task to even start defining a language.

I'm sure it is.No doubt about that.

I'm talking about object-oriented language like C# or C++ with general purpose,i mean not intended for some specific purpose

I'd give Compiler Construction by Kenneth C. Louden a try. It's a very practical approach and also uses YACC/LEX.
