Write your own Go compiler (FOSDEM 2014)

A talk by Elliot Stoneham for the Go Devroom at FOSDEM 2014. "I'll be explaining the potential I see for Go as a very portable language and reviewing the Go tools that make that such an exciting possibility. Based on my experiences writing an experimental Go to Haxe translator, I'll talk about the practical issues of code generation and runtime emulation required. I'll compare some of my design decisions with those of two other Go compiler/translators that build on the go.tools library. My aim is to encourage you to try one of these new 'mutant' Go compilers. I hope some of you will be inspired to contribute to one of them or even to write a new one of your own.". Slides:.
