What is Programming language engineering?
(OP)
What is Programming Language Engineering and is there such a thing as a Programming Language Engineer? Where would you learn this, what certification, or am I missing the point?
I searched AltaVista and found nothing about certification or definition of this as a profession.
My reason for the question is that I could call myself a “Programming Language Engineer” in a generic sense. I had added commands to the tokenized command processor of the old TRS-80, and am currently writing a BASIC interpreter from scratch for the OnHand wrist computer. (For fun, there is not enough demand to do it for money (;->).
Considering the puffery and spin that I have seen others put to their talent, or lack of it, an ethical way to attract attention to real skills is worthwhile. Claiming to be a Programming Language Engineer sounds better than self-taught programmer, etc.

Try looking up Software engineering. WWW.SEI.CMU.EDU is a site that explains software engineering. It deals with looking at software development from an engineering view. Attempting to make it more effective and without bugs.

The best and Legal term that I know of for you to use is “Software Designer” I have found this works in most field of engineering where the individual has experience without or working towards accreditation, Such as “Interior Designer”.
Look at the Ethic in Eng Forum.

What I do is to cobble together various bits and pieces of industrial control systems (electrical design) and program (commission) them to the end. I am much more comfortable calling myself a "Systems Integrator". This seems to be understood by all as a jack-of-all-trades type of title which is certainly more accurate.
The point being, that with a little creativity, you should be able to find an acceptable title without treading on the qualified guys toes...
