Rainy Day Project: A TinyBASIC to Go Compiler

2025-06-18

Over a rainy weekend, the author built a compiler that translates TinyBASIC code into Go. Leveraging Go's nex (lexer) and goyacc (parser), the project comprises three stages: lexical analysis, parsing, and code generation. The author details the grammar and code generation process, showcasing example programs and outputs. This fun, challenging project demonstrates the practical application of compiler principles.
