It worked out very well. Don't write a backend by hand anymore. There
are several tools around now (also look at
http://www.first.gmd.de/cogent/catalog/)


- BEG (Emmelmann, www.h-e-i.de standalone version, www.ace.nl has the
CoSy framework version)
- burg and its relatives (Proebsting, Frazer)
- a new tree rewrite tool in the Eli toolbox (Waite, Kastens)


Apart from that there are generators for optimizers and program
analyses:


- Optimix (Assmann, =


i44www.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/~assmann/optimix.html), based on graph
reachability, graph rewriting
- PAG (R. Wilhelm, M. Alt, F. Martin www.cs.uni-sb.de)
