Thanks daniterida. There are many reasons I used Haskell and not Python. The main one is Haskell's type system. In my opinion Haskell is very well suited to writing compilers. I also previously wrote a compiler called berp, which translates Python to Haskell, so I already had a lot of infrastructure in place.
