Hi

I am doing my Masters in Computing. The master's course is a conversion =
course for non-computing graduates. And, the only language taught in the =
course is Java. My undergraduate degree is in accounting.
I would like to ask whether with my background I can learn Haskell and =
as well write a compiler for C-- in Haskell in three months for my =
dissertation. Is this a feasible project within the time frame? I would =
also like to mention that I have never written a compiler before.
I would grateful if anyone can advise me on this matter.

Sincerely Yours
Debanjan
