I had to design a simple general purpose language for university, so I tried creating "ZoomerScript" with Jetbrains MPS
Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.
Can you guess what everything does?

Compiler courses are typically master level.
My college must have been full of sadists. They had undergrad compiler courses and required students to take them.
Same, it usually whacked about half the attempted majors into another major. In the first half of senior year. They kept wondering why their program wasn't growing much even though similar colleges' programs were growing like mold on a dorm shower curtain. I enjoyed the course and never used the primary skills taught in it again.
It really depends on what you do, but somehow, I actually did end up using some of the things those courses were teaching. It turns out the visitor pattern is extremely useful for writing JavaScript code transformers.
I had an entry-level compiler course during undergrad. We used JavaCC to generate a lexer and parser based on eBNF grammar.
Im having a mandatory compiler course on my 3rd year of (french) bachelor
I definitely read this as you were a third year French major being forced to taking a compiler course for a moment and went wtf. Then my brain slapped itself and realized you mean you're a student in France.
Haha yeah I meant that I was studying computer science im France and not studying french. Here in France, bachelor are called licence and are only 3 years compared to 4 in north america afaik, but there are way fewer electives
Nah, I think they’ve won the French version of The Bachelor 2 years in a row and are about to win the third.
It was part of my BSc, but that was over 20 years ago.
in your area on the world map (wherever that is).
