Indiana Jones and the Pascal compiler in 2 hours
summary
A hands-on masterclass that demonstrates building a working Pascal-to-Java-bytecode compiler in about two hours. It explains why targeting the JVM simplifies code generation (e.g., garbage collection provided) and shows practical steps and choices for implementing a compiler quickly by selecting a suitable source language and generating JVM bytecode.
