I will surely like to do it, given my background on compiler design, 
however real life keeps jumping in the way. So I tend just to do

Compiler development is not as hard as people think, it just plain data 
structures manipulations.

If you skim through a book like the one from Niklaus Wirth about 
compiler development[1], you get the basics pretty quickly.
