About Hong Kong Compiler Engineering Group

The Hong Kong Compiler Engineering Group is a community for anyone passionate about compiler development using OCaml. We focus on various stages of building a compiler—from syntax analysis to semantic analysis—and everything in between.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a platform for compiler enthusiasts to:

Learn about different phases of compiler construction: lexical analysis, parsing, type checking, optimization, and code generation.
Discuss experiences and challenges with compiler design, or share insights on using functional programming, especially OCaml, for these tasks.
Collaborate with others who are at various stages of their compiler projects.
Explore advanced topics such as abstract syntax trees, control flow analysis, type systems, and more.
