Hi Jay,

It unfortunately got more complicated with time.  You can look at the
history in the repository to see older, simpler versions of the
compiler.


You may want to consider an interpreter first, as the initial design
was based on taking an interpreter and getting it to emit code instead
of values.  You can find some good information in PLAI:
