I've been programming for about 10 years now and recently came across
the Eiffel language. In all of that time I've never written a compiler
and have decided I'd like to write a new one for Eiffel. I'm looking
for some people to tell me what they would like to see in a new
compiler. What standard should it be written to? What platform would
you use it on? Would you like to see a full IDE or just a compiler?
How about a symbolic debugger? Do you prefer a native language
compiler or one that produces C/C++ code? Any comment you wish to make
would be very welcome.
