While most students chose to write their compilers in Java or C#, my partner and I wrote ours in F#. Though I won’t be publishing the source code - since it would be too tempting for other students using Appel’s Modern Compiler Implementation in Java – I would like to point out where F# makes the task of writing a compiler much easier than say, C#. F#’s superiority in this domain can largely be attributed to discriminated unions, as you will soon find out.
