I turned into a man that watches compiler videos for entertainment, props to you for making it so entertaining

"I'm not gonna use rust because I write memory safe code"...
The memory safe code: "Does this have a destructor?... I'm gonna assume it does" (36:30)

This dude : "I can´t remember how to do this"

*Start to create a fucking compiler*

There is nothing with RDI register, just (in Linux) the exit codes are specified in the range 0-255 (1 byte).
The number 420 lost its most significant bytes and became 164.

I really appreciate that the sequences, where you are not quite sure are NOT cut out. It's really helpful, to see the thought process in a specific language / context, when you are not sure what to do. For example, which docs to turn to, or how to use intellisense etc. to find the information one needs to solve the problem. Seeing just some finished code explained is not nearly as helpful as this format in my opinion. Very watchable. Thank you!

I can tell this channel will go somewhere with commitment, keep up the good work!

You make the learning so much more approachable for people with no previous understanding of compilers or asm. This style of teaching where you build a project live while explaining why you make that decision is so comprehensible. Thank you

As a self taught software engineer that loves going deep into all the layers this is great introduction! Currently Im building VM's for Chip8 and Gameboy, and writing VMs REALLY helped me to understand how a computer works from a binary level. Feels really genuine that you dont know everything and use Google, really shows how the day to day of a software engineer is.

love this guy

I like that you are not afraid of showing your mistakes, because that is how you learn - keep creating more

[Meknassih]

One underated aspect of this kind of videos is that making mistakes is actually good to keep in the video instead of editing it out. Really makes it engaging and relatable as if we're doing it together. Great content !

[NorteXGame]

It's insane how well you explained things in this video. Not only did you successfully explain basic Assembly, you also made me understand all the premises of compiling. I also like the human aspect of this video, of making mistakes and fixing them live. Thanks for this.

No cap, how do I donate?

Never even considered donating to a YouTuber before but this, but this is the content that’s enjoyable.

Not the average hour long video with cuts and edits everywhere, because every time the person has to look something up it’s all secretive and never seen.

I got a lot of respect for someone that is probably a little bit nervous because they may be using a language they’re not be 110% comfortable or familiar with, but is well and truly comfortable enough to show what’s going on in their head as they walk through the project and show all the pivots and everything that’s happening.

I fucking love it, I got a lot of respect for it and I want to support this kind of “free thought with a goal” style YouTube videos.
If you’ve got some way to accept donations, let me know 🙌💪

This is unironically the exact type of video I wanted to see about this topic. A "Let's build X" from start to finish with really great commentary and explanation on the side. Keep it up man

[katchins]

You made the process of creating a compiler so straightforward and intuitive, I wish I had this video in school during my compiler class!

[alexoverstreet]

This video is so underrated. Very simple and easy to understand to get you started with the world of compiler development! Thanks 🎉🎉🎉

[theobgshow]

I came across this and was compelled to sit all the way through it. I love your delivery, your voice and that you haven't edited anything, leaving in your mistakes.

Thank you

"This is SO safe" has got to be my favorite quote from this video :D

[starshipx]

super cool style with experimentation. Pls keep up. thank you very much : )
