Writing a compiler would probably need the knowledge of the ways the compilers of different language work and a very sound knowledge of the C language.
I say the above because, this was said by one of my Professors who is a master at compiler writing. Edit: Small spelling mistake and change made!

Who said anything about C? :p
The first programs were written directly in machine code. Is there anybody to contact or any articles anywhere on the Internet? |

If this is your first time, you need to start off by writing an interpreter; something that parses source code and executes it on the fly, skipping out the conversion into machine code. A good tool to help you write an interpreter is a parser generator. I'd recommend PyParsing and Python for a beginner, though you could try something like Flex/Bison (though I found them hard to work with), or perhaps ANTLR or JavaCC. However, you still need to be a reasonably experienced programmer to pull this off. |
