FUCKING PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Now, I'm taking a programming languages, and as a project we're going to make our own programming language - and in a complete strike of unimaginativeness, everyone is writing out shitty c and java clones - even though it needs to be a very simple pet language capable of doing only the very fundamental. I've been planning on going basic style with fancy functional additions, but that sounded retarded when I verbalized it, so I'm reduced to begging /prog/ for advice.

Lazy programming is a novel technique employed primarily by LISP hackers.  With lazy programming a program is not written but merely declared so; actual creation of the program is done after a first request for evaluation, which never comes, so the program is never written.  This saves LISP hackers a lot of time which can be spent in effective trolling.
