] [1.1 ] Hi, I'm interested in attending the Hackathon, but I don't have any previous experience working on compilers.
Perhaps we should start a list of pre-session recommended reading on the wiki page? I would recommend at least skimming the following papers/books: Implementing functional languages: a tutorial Simon Peyton Jones and David Lester. Published by Prentice Hall, 1992. http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/Papers/pj-lester-book/ Typing Haskell in Haskell (1999) Mark P. Jones http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/jones99typing.html Implementing Lazy Functional Languages on Stock Hardware: the Spineless Tagless G-machine Simon L. Peyton Jones http://research.microsoft.com/research/pubs/view.aspx?pubid=179 I like those because you can get a lot out of them, even if you have no prior compiler experience. Anyone have other suggestions? j.
