Only a happy customer, but if you want an amazing experience building a compiler I highly recommend David Beazley's Compiler Course (or anything else you can sign up for) https://www.dabeaz.com/

While I loved this week-long course, I was a bit disappointed that we offloaded all of the code generation to LLVM. I think it would be fantastic to stretch this into a two-week course and actually emit assembly.

  • When I took the course, each person did their own thing when it came to code generation. I don't recall anyone using LLVM. I think emitting assembly is easier than using LLVM.

    I would love a a longer course.
