This book is from 1991. I haven't looked at it, I will do so, it looks promising, but my favorite intro(?) PLT book is Robert Harper's somewhat idiosyncratic Practical Foundations of Programming Languages (PFPL). Some older editions were freely available in entirety, and the current edition has an abridged version online but they make you pay for the full version. I found that the older edition was enough to get a handle on the subject enough to read other sources. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/ https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/

    I use this site too, but it's literally piracy. I don't think it should be linked directly on HN.

      When the law is sufficiently immoral you have an ethical duty to defy it.

        I don't disagree. There are legal realities though for HN as a site where they might not want to condone open piracy.
