I wonder how the whole thing compares with the newest Oberon (which should be at around 2900 lines of code or so). After all, if you drink enough beers, Oberon might look like "a subset of Go that can compile itself" to you.

Wow, I had no idea the Oberon implementation was so small, thanks. And it looks like it's implemented in a similar way, with parsing and code generation mingled together. It is ~2900 lines of code, though it's very dense. You can see it here: http://www.projectoberon.com/

   ORB - symbol table handling - 430 lines
   ORG - code generator (for RISC) - 1115 lines
   ORP - parser (calls scanner and code generator - 997 lines
   ORS - scanner/lexer - 312 lines
