Just for this reason, I'd say no. You won't learn much from something that feels impossible, because it's too complex to analyze your findings.
What you should do is rephrase the problem into something that is possible... I'd say with about 50% chance of failure. Instead of a full interpreter, write a component of one maybe. Or try reverse engineering a simple one. Maybe try cloning an existing one so you can see where problems lie.
Just the act of breaking down an impossible problem into a possible one is a major skill.
