That said, the compiler I built at Purdue was a toy compared to the real
world compilers I found at DEC.  It parsed a subset of Pascal and generated
a homebrew bytestream that was executed by a provided interpreter.  (it was
on punched cards as well on a CDC6600 if that shows my age).


Ahhhhh - 60 bit computing at it's finest and absolutely GUI free unless you were sitting at the console  - Lunar Lander anyone ;-)
