A novice in compiler construction wants feedback

Hi,


In real life I work as programmer at a company that produces casual download
games. But for a year or so I've spent my friday nights on writing my own
little programming language. It's just a simple BASIC style thing, but I'm
still kind of proud of it since I had no experience in compiler construction
before I wrote the very first line of code. The compiler translates the
source code into an assembler-like instruction set and then adds these
instructions to an executable file that interprets itself (is there a name
for this technique?).


But why am I writing? I guess I simply want some feedback, since I have no
one to discuss this kind of work with. The compiler can be downloaded from
naalaa.webs.com/naalaa.zip. It comes with an editor with syntax highlithting
and some example code. And, yeah, it's for windows.
