Writing a compiler frontend

So I'd like to hack up a quick and dirty compiler for this test language of mine, what is good to use for a backend?

LLVM is looking a lot cleaner than  GCC, at least, and isn't infested by GNU AIDS, but it looks like I'd have to do more of the compiling process myself to get a LLVM language representation. (I think I'd be done when I handed over the GENERIC or GIMPLE to the GCC backend?)

Does any of you retards have anything to say about these, and are there any other open source compilers I should look at?

Make a Python compiler that compiles Ruby

Write an interpreter or a non-optimizing compiler first. The latter is easy to do, and there are a couple good tutorials out there.

You should be intimately familiar with your target language, at any rate, whether that's assembler or a VM bytecode.

Compile it down to Lisp code (or another language, if you're a fag).

FUCK

My dog just died ;_;

Compile down to java bytecode. Clojure does this and it works quite well.

If we are retards, how will we know about anything like this.
