LaTeX source for two companion books—one compiling a subset of Racket, the other a subset of Python—both targeting x86‑64 assembly, used in Indiana University’s compiler course and published by MIT Press.

Features

  • Step‑by‑step incremental development of a compiler from source to x86‑64 machine code
  • Two versions: Racket‑based and Python‑based pedagogical paths
  • Built using LaTeX with make script requiring full TeX Live install
  • Accompanied by student support code repositories for both Racket and Python
  • Adopted as course material at multiple universities globally
  • MIT Press finalized manuscripts available via repository tags/releases
