Hello,


The amount of money/time needed to implement a compiler does depend
on the features of the language to be translated.


Example:


Translating roman numbers is not very hard.
Implementing a parallel language can be a difficult task.


I suggest you visit g95.sourceforge.net to have a look at an ongoing
compiler implementation effort for the Fortran language.
