An Intro to Compilers

How to Speak to Computers, Pre-Siri. Learning new meanings for front-end and back-end.

(Some compilers translate source code into another programming language. These compilers are called source-to-source translators or transpilers.) LLVM is a widely used compiler project, consisting of many modular compiler tools.
