rgo (stalled)
rgo
was a work-in-progress Go compiler, written in Rust.
This was primarily a fun learning project.
I chose Go as the source language because C compilers have been written over and over, and I wanted to do something new. Go's spec is pretty simple, so it seemed like a good choice. The fact that is has a GC also made implementing a compiler for it more challenging and, therefore, more interesting.
Additionally, Go's reference implementation uses a custom backend for
optimization and codegen, while rgo
was to use LLVM for optimization and machine
code generation.
