> What would be a good starting point to learn about writing compilers?

You also might find the LLVM/Clang kaleidoscope based tutorials interesting to get started having an insight into writing an LLVM-based compiler. Also Adrian Sampson has a great article in introducing LLVM for new-comers [1].

Hmm, I've always assumed that the tutorials were for the people who already 'know' compilers enough, it's great that it's more accessible than I thought.

Definitely will going to look through them. Great resources :-)

If Haskell is your thing, this may be of interest
