Are there any courses on creating a new language, interpreter, and compiler from scratch? Like not using LLVM or similar to generate intermediate representation but to literally pick an ISA and, well, compile for it.

I've seen it like 2 years ago and it is well prepared course.

I just dont understand why is this "PhD level"

I wish my school offered something even half good as this. I've seen it like 2 years ago and it is well prepared course. >CS 6120 is a PhD-level Cornell CS course by Adrian Sampson on programming language implementation. I just dont understand why is this "PhD level"
It's really up to the professor.

This does not cover compilers. I know because I specifically asked munificent (the author) about this before and he mentioned some other books to look at.

What do you mean exactly by "compilers"? Because the book features a chapter on how to compile source code to virtual machine byte code.

It would have been if the papers covered were closer to the state of the art. The most recent one is from 2015.
However, this course would actually give you the background required to read more recent paper and work on compiler research, so calling it PhD level is not a huge stretch.
