This is exactly what i came to point out! That chapter named "Program Development" is a masterpiece and a must read by every Software Engineer. I read it before i knew what Compilers/Language Design involved and it was sort of a revelation in how much you can get done without knowing too much theory but with the intelligent use of appropriate tools, a framework and a guiding hand. Whenever people ask me for resources on Compilers/Language Design i always tell them to first read this chapter a couple of times and grasp it thoroughly and only then move onto other proper textbooks. A good followup to this chapter is the book Introduction to Compiler Construction with Unix by Axel Schreiner and George Friedman - https://archive.org/details/introduction.to.compiler.construction/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/introduction.to.compiler.constru...
