Wasabi!
In Joel Spolsky's latest post, he discusses practical ways of choosing a programming language to develop in. Not much new here, but I did enjoy this paragraph about FogCreek's in-house programming language/compiler written in C#.

That sounds nifty."Finally -- as to what we use -- Copilot is C# and ASP.Net, as I mentioned, although the Windows client is written in C++. Our older in-house code is VBScript and our newer in-house code is C#. FogBugz is written in Wasabi, a very advanced, functional-programming dialect of Basic with closures and lambdas and Rails-like active records that can be compiled down to VBScript, JavaScript, PHP4 or PHP5. Wasabi is a private, in-house language written by one of our best developers that is optimized specifically for developing FogBugz; the Wasabi compiler itself is written in C#."
