Gregory's ServerWriting a compiler for a new language is a lonely task, but at least you can hope your language will become cool.
I'm writing a compiler for an old, decidedly uncool language so I don't have that hope. Luckily I'm targeting Uxn, purely for the cool factor of course.

Not to be mysterious about it, it's a source-to-source compiler from Fortran-90 to Uxntal, written in Perl. I'm doing this for one purpose only: to compile my Funktal compiler into Uxntal, to see if it will fit. The signs are hopeful. |
I've been chipping away at it quietly for over a year now, and I am finally at the stage were I can read a file provided on command line and print it (!)
(Well, that, and a bit more. But getting IO and strings working was the biggest task).
