Re: Learning to compile

P.S If anything I would recommend learning networking... If I was going to say do something practical, assuming your networking knowledge is somewhat limited. 1. Learn to write and run a simple HTTP server. 2. Install it on a AWS server or get a Digital Ocean droplet. 3. Learn to create firewall

Re: Learning to compile

What’s your top priority? Learning how to write compilers? Or learning something that will lead to gainful employment, growth, and income? There’s very little call for people who write compilers today. As an academic exercise, that’s fine. Just don’t expect it to lead to employment any time

Re: Learning to compile

I may not be the best one to talk, but writing a compiler in something like Java/Haskell sounds like it would be incredibility slow if you wanted to get some real world usage out of it. If you already know some Java, why not take a dive into a real lower level language like C/C++ already? -- C/C++

Learning to compile

Since my other thread degenerated into a "school bad, school good" flame war, I thought I would try again. I have little academic OR practical background with programming. I want to write a couple of compilers. The compilers are for functional languages. I would PREFER to write the compilers
