  …into these as well for my library. Thanks for the heads up. :) By the way, for the Python folks with a Pi around, this one is also an interesting read to dive into what it means to write a compiler "Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python" https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Interpreters-Compilers-Raspbe...

  For Python grab a copy of "Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python". And there is a C version of "Modern Compiler Implementation" as well.

  I just got myself Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python for Christmas (mainly to learn more about Raspberry Pi assembly). It's very accessible. First half of the book is a breeze, then the difficulty goes up a bit. Relatively light on theory, which is a conscious…

  …whole goal of PyPy, IronPython, Jython, Python on GraalVM, Python on OpenJ9, CircuitPython and plenty of other attempts. Anyone that understands compilers knows one can write language X in X. In fact, "Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python" does exactly that. We can nuke CPython and there is plenty of Python code that would still run without problems.

  …excellent book and IMO is as good as a Compiler book for laymen as it can be. It is way better than the other books with the same focus IMO (I compared it to two other books: "Game Scripting Mastery" and ""Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi using Python"). I really appreciate the efforts the author put into the book. This is one of the few CS books that I actually purchased a physical copy. However, I do have one recommendation: Express Expr.java in…
