I agree with you on that creating a programming language requires a lot of experience and background knowledge. But what do you think about a scenario when there is a person who's really passionate about an idea they have, yet they are quite a newbie? I imagine that the passion+determination will prompt them to step up their game, to reach out to their mentors (or find some) to make this happen.

Some languages are created just for fun and out of pure curiosity -- and maybe for those the scenario I presented could work quite well. It's an entirely different story if you actually want to revolutionize the tech world.
