# Really Bad Compiler in Haskell

A compiler written in Haskell that is really bad (I do not know what language I am going to compile yet). Built for the Introduction to Compiler Design class at The University of Texas at Dallas.

Main repo: https://git.sudoer.ch/me/really-bad-compiler-in-haskell

## Build Instructions

- Clone the repo.
- Use `ghcup` to install all of the Haskell tools.
- Use `stack build` and `stack run <file>` to run the program.

## File structure

- `app` - contains the compiler program
- `example` - contains example programs that can be compiled
