[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] Compiler Construction course using Haskell?

[Krasimir Angelov]

Hi Johannes,

There is a similar course in Chalmers. The home page is here:

http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Grundutb/Kurser/progs/current/

There students were required to implement full parser, partial
typechecker and partial interpreter for C++ in either C++, Java or
Haskell. We used BNFC for the parser:

http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Language-technology/BNFC/

which was easier for most students I think. In any way I would
recomend Happy+Alex or BNFC instead of Parsec but this is only my
personal preference.

Best Regards,
  Krasimir
