Learn how to write a simple compiler

Details

Over about an hour I'm going to try to:

  1. Talk a little about compilers and program translation.

  2. Explain the basic structure of LLVM and its OCaml bindings.

  3. Introduce a little embedded language ("aww ain't it cute?")

  4. Compile above language to native code using LLVM

  5. Hopefully beat the pants off OCaml's native compiler

I haven't written anything yet, so wish me luck.
