Learn

Basic

• https://chocopy.org/ : ChocoPy is a programming language designed for classroom use in undergraduate compilers courses. ChocoPy is a restricted subset of Python 3, which can easily be compiled to a target such as RISC-V. Tooling is in Java.

Advanced

• https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs6120/2020fa/ : CS 6120: Advanced Compilers

Program transformation

• For Python: look at Bowler, Fissix.
• Example use: https://github.com/craigds/decrapify
