Can anyone recommend a good book about compilers? I just watched Martin Odersky's talk from Scala World [1] where he talks about the new Scala compiler he is working on called Dotty [2], but he talks a bit about other compilers and now I am interested to learn more.

My three favorite books on compilers (in no particular order) are: * Engineering a Compiler: https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Compiler-Second-Keith-Cooper/dp/012088478X https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Compiler-Second-Keith-Coo... * Modern Compiler Implementation in ML: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/ml/ https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/ml/ * Compiling with Continuations: https://www.amazon.com/Compiling-Continuations-Andrew-W-Appel/dp/052103311X https://www.amazon.com/Compiling-Continuations-Andrew-W-Appe...

  I second Modern compiler implementation in ML. I'd also add Types and Programming Languages by Pierce, commonly referred to as TAPL for background on type systems. https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/tapl/ https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/tapl/
