"how long takes it to build a compiler?"
bj> the answer is, once you know what you are
bj> doing... not very long at all.
Or, in other words: If you do not invent your own language, but have
to implement according to some given specifications, be prepared to
spend quite some on understanding these specs and all the involved
ramifications.
Implementing "a pascal-like compiler" with convenient restrictions
is likely to scale according to the 90/90 rule.
Martin Neitzel
[Ah, the 90/90 rule: the first 90% of the work takes the first 90% of
the time, and the other 90% of the work takes the other 90% of the time.
