Writing a Compiler and Interpreter in Rust

Writing a Compiler and Interpreter in Rust - Part 1

In this series, we write a compiler and interpreter for my stack based language "MCL" (a programming language I designed) in Rust. Originally written in C++, we investigate how it works, rewrite it in Rust, and optimize the hell out of it.
In this episode, we look at the old code, and then get into actually writing some Rust! Exciting.
The codebase will be on GitHub, but in this video we don't produce enough code to push anything yet. The original mcl is at github.com/lionkor/mcl

Everyone has the idea to create own language, a compiler, an interpreter and so on. Certainly, I did it too. I am glad that someone is willing to share the idea. My way was a bit different, originally my language was written in Java and then I rewrote it in Rust.

It's a wonderful challenge, especially when you go more in depth than "just" a stack based language like we do here

Looks promising! You should create a playlist for these videos.

You've got really appealing ASMR-like voice 🙂‍↔️ But the content is good too, looking forward to see how LLVM works, I hope you'll use it for codegen.

Hi, we're probably gonna write our own shitty JIT first to see how far we can go, and then switch to something serious

we have to, its very hip and very cool!

I'd honestly rather write stuff in C++, but cargo is simply built different.

Why C++?

@@blueghost3649 I just prefer C++, to my monkey brain it just reads easier, and I'm not referring to most C++ 20 features, stuff is living, breathing, nightmare fuel. (specifically std::ranges)

I agree for the most part, C++ is quite nice and it's still what I mostly write, but rust + cargo are just too easy to not use ;)

Why would u want to miss out on traits & algebraic enums? I heavily use them to model language for compilers
