   The students taking my compiler course build such compilers: one   
   compiler per student, implementing a different small programming   
   language every year.  They also use Ox (an attribute grammar evaluator   
   generator) for getting more structure into the in-between part.   
   Instead of iburg, they can also use burg, which has the same   
   interface.
