Good languages for writing compilers in?

1. TablaM

   1 157 203 0.0 Rust

   The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications

   

   It sounds puzzling, I start learning Rust with https://tablam.org and probably was making my life harder trying to do "advanced" stuff when not have any idea of what I was doing.

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

   

3. Pegged

   2 7 535 5.5 D

   A Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) module, using the D programming language.

   

   Also pegged is a pretty nice library for generating parsers from PEG grammars.

4. Odin

   3 95 8,508 10.0 Odin

   Odin Programming Language

   

   You can try using Odin language: https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin

5. AECforWebAssembly

   4 51 35 8.4 C++

   A port of ArithmeticExpressionCompiler from x86 to WebAssembly, so that the programs written in the language can run in a browser. The compiler has been rewritten from JavaScript into C++.

   

   Well, I have written the first compiler for my programming language, targetting x86, in IE6-compatible JavaScript, and the second compiler, targetting WebAssembly, has been written in C++11. I think that, to choose a language to write a compiler in, you need to look at at least two things:

6. rust

   5 2,845 104,543 10.0 Rust

   Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

   

   Also I think rustc itself tends to use arenas to solve this problem, which also gets around the lifetime issues

7. mpl

   6 8 382 8.2 Standard ML

   The MaPLe compiler: efficient and scalable parallel functional programming

   

   Maple is a fork of MLton: https://github.com/MPLLang/mpl

8. Carp

   7 89 5,673 4.1 Haskell

   A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.

   

9. SaaSHub

10. ppci

    8 5 343 0.0 Python
