Question

Are questions about reimplementing languages that's made by others, on topic? (Title)

Examples:

Questions about adding new monads/dyads to a golfing language.
Questions about removing useless commands in a minimalist language.
Questions about reimplementing map function in a compiled language that does not have that function.
Questions about making the language faster.

This basically answers your question: area51.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/32846/… — mousetail 'he-him', Commented Dec 26, 2022 at 13:43
@mousetail my question is about changing the language, while yours is about reimplementing a language. I don't think that's dupe. — Fmbalbuena, Commented Dec 26, 2022 at 18:10

I think we should allow this, but we need to change it to allowing only "design" aspects.

For example, questions about changing curly-brackets-required to indentation-required are design related and should remain on-topic.

However,

Questions about making the language faster.

is more of optimization and should be off topic.

We might also want to consider adding a tag like reimplement or something to find these kind of questions.
