    That you know what an AST is gives you some credibility.
    Code generation from an AST is enormously simpler than the back-patching method of the Dragon book.

    Obviously you don't quite know what you are talking about because
    generating code from an AST is not mutually exclusive with back-patching,
    I am doing both in neos.

    I could never understand back-patching. With an AST I simply walked the
    tree and generated the code.

    It isn't that simple.
