I don’t believe seeing this. It says:
For April, Chris Smith will be presenting on writing a Java to x86 Compiler in F#.
The presentation may go on for an hour or two which definitely is not enough to write a compiler. I’ve heard that F# is powerful, but this powerful?
Well, all I wanted to ask is this: Can you write a compiler in F# that quickly?
Giving a presentation about a project isn’t the same thing as implementing the whole project during the presentation.
It’s perfectly possible to present some interesting aspects of a Java to x86 compiler within an hour, and even show some code: but that’s not the same as creating all the code then and there.
