Abstract
Compiler construction, a course feared by most studentsand a competence seldom needed in the industry. Yet we claim that compiler construction is wonderful topic that benefits from virtually all the computer-science topics. In this paper we show in particular why compiler construction is a killer example for Object-Oriented Programmingproviding a unique opportunity for students to understand what it is, what it can be used for, and how it works.
