Yes, you basically nailed it. If you have a parser for language, you
can either execute it directly in the language your parser
is written in (interpreter), or output intermediate code or assembly or
object code directly (like tcc does).
Writing a compiler starts with writing a parser for your language. What
you do after that (interpret or generate code) is of second concern.
Hope the OP understands that.
