[Coco] Ran across an interesting book today...

[Boisy Pitre]

Snobol!   I had to write an Algol 60 parser in Snobol 4 for my  
Programming Languages class last semester.  Talk about fun!

In Compiler Construction this semester, the project is to write a  
compiler that uses a subset of the ADA programming language and  
generate intermediate code.  That part is mostly working, and I am  
looking forward to writing a back end which will take the i-code and  
turn it into good ole' 6809 assembler.
