It's been on my list to read for a while! I wonder if it really is one of the best books on interpreters or if it just hit the right spot of being free online and in a mainstream language (i.e. not Haskell, OCaml, or Scheme) and with code you could actually run whereas most PL _textbooks_ stay too abstract and don't walk you through building a working thing.
- stefanos82 5y agoIt is by far the best book (website content?) I read around compilers. It's extremely accessible, easy to follow and digest, plus it challenges you to experiment to see how things work by adding new features or breaking existing ones; fascinating stuff! Now...if it wasn't the Java part and was fully dedicated in C it would be awesome! :-D
