Github of compiler (not examples) or it didn't happen.

For anyone excited about this project: The repo does not contain a compiler yet. It's just an intention to build one.

It would have been nice to see the compiler implemented in the language itself. I'm a little skeptical of any language that can't be used to compile itself.

9/10 times when I see a "compiler" on GitHub, it's just an interpreter, or the compilation phase is completely missing.

In this case I believe the "compiler" is an "ast printer".

There are other compilers.

Wasn't the reference compiler open-sourced recently? That could've sparked some new interest.

It's always concerning to see a compiler not being written in the compiled language.

I've got a small collection of compiler resources on Github:

https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages/blob/master/com...

I'll add more as they are posted.

No doubt you'll find lots of attempts on github, but no business will touch it unless it's an offical compiler with Microsoft's backing, who continue to release updates and provide support for it.

What compiler? I'm out of the loop on what you're referring to.

garganzol | karma 1639 | avg karma 2.43 · | 2018-07-31 14:00:05+00:00

Where is the source code of a compiler? It looks like it's written in Java but there are no source code files in corresponding GitHub repo.

That's a tweet, not a compiler, sorry.

stochastic_monk | karma 2749 | avg karma 2.67 · | 2018-04-15 16:09:34

Which compiler?

Which compiler?

Thanks for pointing it out - I didn't go through the issues before posting.

Most compilers I'm aware of gets compiled by themselves. I think it's great for two things:

1) Show how serious the compiler is - compiler code tends to be complicated 2) Free real life testing

I was expecting Gitea to be hosted on Gitea for the same reasons. Was trying to offer criticism but got downvoted immediately, ahh HN =)

Compiler development is not like JavaScript frameworks.

chrisseaton | karma 36438 | avg karma 2.64 · | 2017-11-30 19:36:14+00:00

They have released their compilers - you can get them right now. They're just not free or open source.

trailfox | karma 401 | avg karma 2.25 · | 2013-08-01 13:05:33+00:00

Wow, a programming language compiler I don't have to pay for... Somehow not that exciting a development in 2013.

kctess5 | karma 528 | avg karma 3.22 · | 2016-11-18 06:42:28

That would be an interesting compiler project.

Uftos | karma 4 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2023-02-14 04:56:18

Why it's a compiler and not a library
