SKILL compiler?

ThePhoenix

Hello, I'm looking for a good compiler (to compile the SKILL code before I enter it into Cadence) that enables Compiling and Running of
SKILL code. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance.

    Hello Phoenix, Not all languages need to be compiled. There are a certain class of languages that are interpreted. Look in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreted_language. These include ones like Perl, Python etc. There are many advantages to interpreted languages with the one traditional downside being execution speed. This has also been addressed in many interpreted languages and SKILL is no exception using methods like byte-compiling code and use of context files. As you spend more time with SKILL you will realize that the interpreted nature provides a much more dynamic and faster code development environment. Hope this helps. For more information refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REPL (it applies to SKILL as well. You can directly type in at the CIW)
