One more time about Wirth and Gutknecht. Here is their book mentioned in the announce of the lecture three posts ago.

https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/ProjectOberon1992.pdf
A modern version of the book "Compiler Construction" written by Niklaus Wirth. It consists of two parts. The first one describes how to make a simple compiler for a subset of the programming language Oberon. The second part is about code generation for a simple RISC machine invented by Mr. Wirth especially for the course on compilers.

Red is an imperative programming language with very rich standard library including many domain specific type definitions.

The syntax of Red is similar to Rebol - commercial language developed specially for small footprint WEB applications (like Silverlight or Java).

Red also includes a subset for systems programming. Its syntax can be easily parsed as a data structure and doesn't require any complex parser generators.

9p is a famous distributed filesystem protocol originated in the Plan9 operating system. It is known as well designed, robust and easily portable.

The following series of posts describes step by step how the protocol can be implemented from the ground up in the go programming language.

I was surprised when I first saw how many applications in commerce the Pharo language had. Before, it seemed to me that Smalltalk was almost dead.

Pharo is a modern Smalltalk dialect with a convenient IDE including very powerfull interactive debugger. It is both the object-oriented development environment and a language-based operating system.

Chicken Scheme is a modern compiler for the R5RS Scheme programming language. It compiles Scheme code to C and allows easy FFI through foreign lambda interface.

The compiler supports many extensions to the base language and has a rich code library.

C is a perfect translation target for many high-level programming languages. It can be easily used as a flexible intermediate language which is perfectly optimized, it can be built for almost any existing platform.

The following article shows a simple example of a FORTH to C translator. The author describes how to feed gdb with proper info about source language lines locations to simplity debugging and provide pretty backtraces in known IDEs.

Полiт ОС - графическая оболочка для DOS с приятным глазу современным оконным интерфейсом. В полiт есть блокнот, плеер, двухпанельный менеджер файлов, менеджер контактов, игры и справочная система. Ввод в этой оболочке поддерживает английскую, русскую и украинскую раскладки.

Это компактное чудо написано на TurboPascal 7.0, а в коде может разобраться каждый - он открыт под GPL-совместимой лицензией.
