rgo Build Status

rgo is a work-in-progress (i.e. unfinished) Go compiler, written in Rust.

For now, this is primarily a fun learning project.

I chose Go as the source language because C compilers have been written over and over, and I wanted to do something new. Go's spec is pretty simple, so it seemed like a good choice. The fact that is has a GC also makes implementing a compiler for it more challenging and, therefore, more interesting.

Additionally, Go's reference implementation uses a custom backend for optimization and codegen, while rgo will use LLVM for optimization and machine code generation.
