Hi, this seems like a good place for my newbie compiler question.
I'm trying to write a compiler for LISP - i wrote a simple interpreter already (mostly just to learn how compilers work). Definitely did not need anything complicated for tokenizing,parsing thanks to https://github.com/lihaoyi/fastparse.
What resources are useful now for learning about implementing a type system and the optimizer? You said register coloring etc. arent important - is this because we can target LLVM?
