 Design Principles Behind Smalltalk
We have chosen to concentrate on two principle areas of research: a language of description (programming language) that serves as an interface between the models in the human mind and those in computing hardware, and a language of interaction (user interface) that matches the human communication system to that of the computer.
The design of a language for using computers must deal with internal models, external media, and the interaction between these in both the human and the computer.
It is also a poor design because intimate knowledge about the internals of objects is sprinkled throughout the system.

  Compiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compilers also exist which translate from one high level language to another, or sometimes to an intermediate language that still needs further processing; these are sometimes known as cascaders.
Building a self-hosting compiler is a bootstrapping problem -- the first such compiler for a language must be compiled either by a compiler written in a different language, or (as in Hart and Levin's Lisp compiler) compiled by running the compiler in an interpreter.
Compilers which are capable of producing both native and foreign binary output may be called either a cross-compiler or a native compiler depending on a specific use, although it would be more correct to classify them as a cross-compilers.

 Principles of Compiler Design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Principles of Compiler Design, by Alfred V. Aho and Jeffrey D. Ullman, is a classic textbook on compilers for computer programming languages.
It is often called the "dragon book" because its cover depicts a knight and a dragon in battle; the dragon is green, and labeled "Complexity of Compiler Construction", while the knight wields a lance labeled "LALR parser generator".
Principles of Compiler Design is now rather dated, but when it came out in 1977, it was hailed for its practical bent; it included treatments of all compilation phases, with sufficient algorithmic detail that students could build their own small compilers in a semester.

 Compiler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Most compilers translate source code written in a high level language to object code or machine language that may be directly executed by a computer or a virtual machine.
Compilers also exist which translate from one high level language to another (cross compilers), or sometimes to an intermediate language that still needs further processing; these are sometimes known as cascaders.
During the 1980s and 1990s a large number of free compilers and compiler development tools were developed for all kinds of languages, both as part of the GNU project and other open-source initiatives.

This 'multipass' method of compiling was the common compiler technology at the time, but was also due to the small main memories of host computers relative to the source code and data.

 United States Patent: 4,667,290
Compilation comprises running a separate computer program, termed a compiler, in order to convert a high level language program (the source code) possessing the desired attributes of flexibility and ease of use, into a sequence of steps (object code) which are executable on the hardware of a particular computing machine.
While a compiler might be designed in blocks or modules, where each such block performed a separate task, and a particular set of such tasks was recognized in the field as being required for compilation, in each case compiler design required that the entire design process be repeated de novo.
Accordingly, it is a further object of the present invention to develop a group of compilers (compiling various high level languages onto various target machines) which optimize a universal intermediate language.
