I'm making my frst real compiler, one that actually outputs assembly rather than targetting another high level language. It's just going to be a simple scheme compiler. I started on it today, wrote a parser/read and tested it on its own source code.

What are you all making?

I am trying to apply Hofstadter's analogy making cognitive model to simple tasks, to get practice at describing tasks generally in terms of the "Fluid Concept Architecture". (See http://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~joaquin.vanschoren/zsp/fluidconcepts/figure6.png )

Is the map generation an iterative process? ie, does it make several passes, or just one pass, applying constraints each time? Any screenshots?

That sounds technically impressive and involved. Is your project an exercise, or do you intend to use your scheme compiler generally? Are you going to implement all the syntax-rules stuff, or just define-macro?
