What. Features does your programming language have and are you defining it in the Backus-Naur Form or are you doing it in a different way?
It's now already 14 years ago when I did the compiler course at university, but it was one of the most interesting ones, even if the lab was quite hard to do, I learned so much!
I'm working on Core whose primary design goal is to not invent any new features, but implement existing things correctly.
The grammar is implemented with recursive-descent, one could define an equivalent EBNF, but I haven't found the need to do so yet.
