This μ-project is a very simple compiler implemented in OCaml. It can read source files written both in Expr of Pfx. The compiler compiles from Expr to Pfx and executes the Pfx instructions in a small virtual machine.
Please refer to the pdf report at the root of the project which indexes the answers.
- There is still a bug in question 10.3 : we couldnt find how to decrement the index of a variable in the environment.

- changing habits by using an unknown language
- Not a single difficulty: the project was so easy that my 8-old brother did it
completely; the Ocaml language is so nice I enjoyed the project, …
