    > Some compilers tokenize while parsing, but for a different reason: it's faster and uses less memory to generate the AST

    And some don't even generate an AST. :) Just read in and emit or interpret.

    I don’t think there will be an AST. https://briancallahan.net/blog/20210814.html: “We will be writing a single-pass compiler for a simple language and immediately output our final output code as soon as our compiler has enough information to do so”

    That “as soon as” implies code will be generated before the entire program has been parsed.

    Also, for me single-pass implies “no AST”, as you would need at least one pass to construct one, and iterating over an AST counts as another pass for me.
