.It's a stack language, so each word stands on its own. I want to make sure the words make some sense, so I'm posting it here and hoping some good esperantist will give me advice. Thanks in advance for your help. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

sed, kial kreu novan programlingvon kiam jam ekzistas programlingvojn kiujn funkcias bone?
Mi pensas ke la ideo estas bona, sed mi scivolas kial vi kreas Esperantan programlingvon?
EDIT:
I didn't notice this was in the English section. And for some reason didn't comprehend that when I wrote that in Esperanto... Here it is in English.
I like the idea a lot, and hope that you succeed
but, why create a new programming language when there already exists programming languages which function well?
I think that the idea is good, but I want to know why you are creating an Esperanto programming language?

I personally think it's a fantastic idea!

Still, I don't think an EO conlang will be a problem, and it's quite a great idea - I'd like to see this in action
But this is coming from someone who's experience lies in actionscript 2.0 and unix programming

ceigered:I think toiletdude's concern may have been that, like with internationally auxillary conlangs, there are already many programming languages. I can kind of relate, being interested in computers a bit, because there are so many languages for so many things, and this lack of standardisation can cause problems in the long run (a similar problem used to be the amount of different processor architectures, but now everything released for home use by the big players is intel based so no problem).You said my concerns almost perfectly.
I'd love to see this in action, too. However, aren't you alienating almost any potential users?
And I am aware that this is in a very early stage, but what do you plan for it's primary functions to be?
Just some thoughts. I'm definitely not against it, I just feel that all sides of the matter should be examined.
On the other hand, the programming language could entice more people to become interested in Esperanto, so that is an advantage!

The Ugly American ProgrammerThe article goes on to argue the case that hacker culture is concerned with getting results efficiently, with the best tool for the job at hand, which in software development seems pretty irrefutably to be English. The author agrees that this is a bummer, in terms of language rights.
On the internet, you can pretend the world is flat. Whatever country you live in, whatever language you speak, you have the same access to the accumulated knowledge of the world as every other citizen of the planet Earth. And a growing percentage of that knowledge can and should be available in your native language.
But I believe the rules are different for programmers. So much so that I'm going to ask the unthinkable: shouldn't every software developer understand English?
But those rules don't apply to us.It's worth a read, anyway.
We're not talking about normal everyday people. We're talking about programmers. Citizens of the internet. People who swear allegiance not to a country, but a compiler.

I'll keep everyone posted as this project progresses. I'm still going to be doing it, despite the clear lack of potential for "success". I'll probably use it, since I've written code in even more obscure languages that never left my hard drive.
Esperanto doesn't have its own programming language yet, can't hurt to try it once.
