Huge tangent here, but how did you get into coding your own compilers and languages? Computer science was my second major in undergrad, but I mostly gave it up since college (occassionally write something in python, but always simple projects). I assume many coders/devs are reading this, any tips on jumping back in with dormant skills?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I wrote 5 compilers in college in 4 different languages / language paradigms. Then after college I wrote an interpreter that would call c++ code. The interpreted language had C++ like syntax with exceptions, etc. Performance was terrible, but it worked.
That was all 14 years ago, so I am a tad rusty.
Last time I wrote a compiler was about 20 years ago. Most of my stuff was really simple though. I wrote a lot more interpreters than I did compilers.
