I’m thinking of writing a compiler in haskell, and just to gain some knowledge and experience, I will try to implement compilers for existing languages. Could someone give me a list of languages which are suitable for this?
Thanks in advance
Pascal could be a good start – you can compile it in a single pass. A subset of Lisp might be useful in order to grasp the idea of the lambda lifting. ML or even a subset of Haskell might help you in understanding the type inference. Consider using LLVM as your back-end, it will save you some time on implementing boring stuff.
