Hi All,
I Am Designing A New High-Level And Planning To Write A Compiler For
This Lang. Target Processors Are 8051.


Which Lang Is Best Suited For Writing Compilers?


I Am Not Trying To Start A Flame. But, I Am Trying To Choose A Lang
That Is Best Suited For This Task. I Have Done A Lot Of Programming In
Java, C, Lisp, Perl. I Am Also Fairly Good In C++.


I Am More Inclined Towards Java Or Scheme. Are There Good Compiler
Construction Systems Available For These Languages? Due To Time
Constraints, I Would Like To Minimize The Learning Curve And Grunge
Work As Much As Possible.


Thanks For Your Help,
Deva
