Back when I was in the university, we weren't allowed to pick Lisp, Prolog or Caml Light for our compiler design projects, because they would make the whole project too easy. :)

Reminds me of my compiler class, and how I cheated by picking as a project symbolic differentiation and convincing the PhD to let me use Lisp. Needless to say, a single EBNF->lambda macro from a library, and the project became trivial :).

I used C... But just linked to Guile's library.

My professor was unimpressed.
