A reasonably complete, fast language implementation, from scratch, in one weekend, though? By someone who was only introduced to compilers within the last few months? I don’t believe most students would be capable of that, but I’m not a computer scientist so what do I know.

Compared with current state of affairs in CPython, even with basic code generation algorithms, the machine code would be fast enough. Introducing to compilers means also writing one in the process, unless it is a lousy degree.
