Writing a Lisp compiler (Lisp to assembly) from scratch in JavaScript (2018)

• theendisney4 2y ago
  Reminds me of a guy who (for fun) wrote lots of compilers and interpreters like lang A to lang B written in lang C. He was unsurprisingly familiar with quite many languages.

    There's a dissolution effect of writing interpreters. It's a big source of clarity.

    Thanks for putting all this together. Do you have any thoughts about QBE?

      No I haven't played around with it yet I'm sorry.
