Ask HN: Writing your first compiler resources/guides
1 comments
You should start with a good course on automata, such as "Automata and computability" by Kozen. That will cover parsing and a bit more, but this is all "old stuff", or basics, as you see things.
Then you would need a good course on type theory, but unfortunately I have no pointer for this.

What are the best practical resources, guides, and exercises available in order to get started on writing a compiler from scratch? (Ideally by partaking in little exercises and projects to actually make 'the things happen' at each stage from very minimal beginnings, and then some insight into some modern tools, philosophies and workflows in practice?)
