I agree with our moderator and am somewhat surprised by this
discussion. IMHO compiler construction requires knowledge of many
different techniques and is usually an advanced course in CS
undergraduate programs. Trying to do it without knowing the basics
and lots of experience may be an amusing pastime but cannot be
considered a serious endeavor. I don't mean you necessarily need a
formal CS degree but you do have be able to read (and understand!)
more advanced material.
