Raw Blame History

Compiler goals

  • keep mapping between source code and machine code
  • debugging
    • step by step execution
    • breakpoints
    • observe values/thunks/nodes at runtime
  • collect statistics at runtime
  • nice UI (reusing exisiting tools; js libs, etc)

Other

  • parallel compilation
  • local and global optimizer

Technology

  • simple AST + shape functor + recursion-schemes
  • simple name handling
  • JIT backend as a library (e.g. monad transformer?)
