This makes the code cleaner, because it means 1) evaluate() has the same prototype as all of the other AST classes, 2) evaluate() is no longer called indirectly through the Parser Resource class, and 3) the classes themselves are responsible for creating the resources, rather than it being done in the Compile class.
