Compilers Aren’t Magic, So Let’s Build One In Swift
As developers, we use compilers every day, but did you ever wonder how they work, or if you can create your own? Together, we’ll demystify things by stepping through the implementation of a compiler for a BASIC-like language — and we’ll do it in Swift!
Note: This talk is accessible to developers at all levels.
