In case it's necessary, me too. I don't see the big problem. It is
challenging to do a compiler in one semester, but it is doable if you
work in pairs. I've some experience with compiler classes at two
different (American) universities now. At both of them, students work
in pairs and manage to build a complete compiler from end to end.
Okay, well, the compilers tend to be buggy and to produce horrible
code, but people do get to play with every phase of a compiler
including a little bit of optimization.
