Beautiful Racket[0] is a good starting point that covers a lot of nice small examples that incrementally build up your understanding of the different components involved in making languages. And it uses Racket[1], which incorporates the idea of crafting many small "domain-specific" languages to solve different problems into its entire philosophy[2].

- mi_lk 8y agoSecond Beautiful Racket. Good writing and approachable content.
- mikeurbach 8y agoI'm just finishing up the last tutorial, and I highly recommend this as well. I made one traditional C compiler back in college with flex and bison, which I consider an invaluable experience, but I've always wanted to tap in to the power of Scheme for developing new languages. I had some false starts on my own and with mediocre tutorials, but in the end Beautiful Racket was exactly the kind of pedagogy I needed.
