Writing Your Own Toy Compiler Using Flex, Bison and LLVM
Update (March 19 2010): this article was updated for LLVM 2.6 thanks to a great patch by John Harrison. He rocks!

Introducing Surinx (Ruby syntax w/ Java typing)

Duby supports all Ruby's literals, uses local type inference (only argument types *must* be declared), and runs as fast as Java (because it…
