What? Oberon is the simplest language to implement, I know, I did .. in Lisp. Here is a text that shows you how, and it's free: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/pascal/book/pascalimplementation.html http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/pascal/book/pascalimplementa... There is another book, whose very generic name escapes me. It's a compiler book using Pascal; it went out of print in the late 80s. That one had invaluable tricks about code generation and optimizing for obsolete processors. There are Z-80 chips still in the market, and that book was the only one that I know of that had algorithms on code generation for accumulator machines. Somebody please prove me wrong! I got my copy of it for fifteen U.S. cents from a local university. The inside of the back cover has those old pockets for keeping library book cards; it was checked out from the library roughly 4 times and it has been on the shelf at least since 1976, the earliest checkout stamp on the card! Here is the kicker; I enrolled in that university for one cheap class, and spent the whole semester extending and renewing the book every time it was due. You see, In 26 years, I was the only person to have borrowed it, and I did so 3 times. Imagine my surprise one day when I went in to browse the shelves, and I saw the book at the library entrance a mid a pile of National Geographics and Popular Mechanics rags. What a treasure! I didn't have $0.15, so I gave them a quarter and donated the change to hire education. I wonder what IT certification book they replaced it with.
