Have you been trying to learn how compilers and programming languages
work?

Then come along! Let's make a compiler that goes all the way from
source to assembly from scratch--no shortcuts!

This book will teach you enough compiler theory and assembly
programming to get going. It uses a subset of TypeScript that reads
like pseudocode and targets ARM 32-bit instruction set.
