It is indeed a good question, wether it is a good idea to show
compilation and parsing techniques using features of unique programming
languages. SNOBOL and Icon for example give the programmer tools that may
help him craft a simple compiler fast - but these are not the general
methods usually taught.
Should we concentrate on the theory - teaching the general algorithms
from the Dragon book - or can we focus on relatively "fringe" approaches,
which may help the students grasp the beauty of compiling?
