Naturally, there are many great resources for this at www.haskell.org Ensure you check out both Alex and Happy for the parsing and sourcing. (note that Alex is currently being re-written, I'm not sure if the latest public version has the new format/syntax)
Also, there are a variety of compiler help tools there such as bases for symbol tables and so forth. An excellent resource for anyone writing a compiler in a functional language is "Modern Compiler Implementation in ML" by Andrew Appel See http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/ml/ for a bit of information. Although it is directed at ML (and Ml-lex and ml-yacc) it has great information about the functional way of approaching this. Finally, note that ML above is not a pure functional language. As such, you do get to (cheat and use :) state. I have found that I've needed a variety of state monads while doing compiler writing in Haskell. Good luck and have fun. > Hi > > I know there is a general consensus about finding out new things to use > with Haskell but I am quite a newcomer in this field and am attempting to > write a compiler and a runtime system in Haskell.
