The first version will be able to parse a few commands and when all the steps are done (lexing, defining grammar, parsing, generating an AST, emitting code and writing the compiler driver) we will add new functionality, one command at the time.
You will learn every step of compiler design in this 15 episode course. In addition to this, you will also learn how to build your own, datatype-independent regular expression library and also a transpiler/pre-compiler for JS/TS code.
Prerequisites
To follow along in this project you need a basic understanding of Javascript. That’s it. Everything Node- or C or Typescript related will be explained at every step.
Operating systems
This project will work equally well in Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. All you need is Node.js and Nasm. Just follow the instructions from the intro. Happy coding!
