Is there any forum like f.osdev.org but for compiler development? I'm very interested to compiler development too but I can't find an online community like this one to talk about. The most close that I find was http://compilers.iecc.com/ but there's not much people in there... I know that there's stackoverflow.com.. but it is not exactly what I'm looking for.... if there's not (I've searched a lot)... in there anyone here interested to also operating system but compiler development too? if so, what about we create together a new online community for this?

Pretty much all your questions answered before: A site like this, but for language development?

This has been asked before and it ended up nowhere. Either that or I've got a serious case of deja vu!

Insufficient lobbying.

And no, I'm neither going to help nor stop you.

I think that the answer is: No, there's not. What I've seen was a discussion about why such a language exists, language designer, operating system.. etc

I was developing my own compiler before I switched to my OS, so I've also searched this before. There are no complete forum related to compiler development. There is sometimes some informations in compiler mailing list about some development points.

Moreover, I think there is less need of such forum. Compiler development is based a lot on theory (Compiler Theory and Language Theory). It means that there are tons of papers describing algorithms that you can then implement in your compiler, especially in optimization techniques. Moreover, there are also some very good books covering large parts of the problem. Finally, there are some good tools that may solve some parts of the problem, especially lexing and parsing. Although I've developed my compiler during about 2 years, I've already asked more questions about osdev in two months than I've been asking for my compiler. (That doesn't mean it is easier to implement a good compiler than it is to implement a good kernel )
