The Compiler Pipeline of Pug
summary
Pug is a small compiler with explicit stages and a working pipeline that actually produces output HTML or component code. It claims a clear split: lexer, parser, codegen handle tokenization, AST construction and string generation; loader and linker resolve includes and extends by producing one merged AST; plugins can intercept between stages. The project renames Jade to pug, compiles the same source into HTML or React components, and demonstrates the system working end to end.
