chibicc is a really fun idea! If I was in college, I would take a compiler course from you.
Taken from your README:
"chibicc is developed as the reference implementation for a book I'm currently writing about the C compiler and the low-level programming. The book covers the vast topic with an incremental approach; in the first chapter, readers will implement a "compiler" that accepts just a single number as a "language", which will then gain one feature at a time in each section of the book until the language that the compiler accepts matches what the C11 spec specifies. I took this incremental approach from the paper by Abdulaziz Ghuloum."

- ronyeh 6y agoI see. My mistake. So jart is trying to turn it into a APE? I learn something new with every comment. So I would edit my comment to say: I'd love to take a compiler course from Rui, and a systems course from jart.
- ronyeh 6y agoEdit: as pointed out by xearl, I accidentally copied the README from github user https://github.com/rui314 https://github.com/rui314 and attributed it incorrectly to jart. That's what I get for browsing HN on my phone late at night.
