BTW, can anyone please suggest a good online compiler course for creating your own programming language with labs/exams/certs? I can find pretty good courses for almost anything but not for compilers... Something that would focus on handling grammar (LALR, LL, CYK etc), ASTs, semantics, types, code-completion, imperative/OOP/functional/logical/self-modifying constructs etc. or even NLP-to-AST conversion...
My compilers course has all the lectures recorded, and has starter code for all the assignments provided. It provides all the parsers, and focuses on the backend, including memory management and various details of value representations.
This is just my materials, I don't have an associated platform with verification/certification. However, some folks from HN have previously done the course and emailed me after, and seem to have gotten some value out of it.
I'm using the earlier offering of your course and another[0] to learn about compilers for a while now and it's the only method that really clicked for me. Thank you very much for making this open!
Matt Might doesn't have an organized course for free online, but I found that his blog filled in a lot of the gaps for me between compiling a language like C, and a more modern language like Scheme or Python, which are missing from other resources I've found online. You'll have to click around to different posts, but here's a good starting point:
Most of this stuff flew over my head. While I understand C, this stiff feels out of grasp. Can anybody also please suggest recommended reading for beginners?
