I haven't gone through Crafting Interpreters yet (it's on the bookshelf) but I did go through a big chunk of Building Git and instead of Ruby I did it in Rust, to get back into the language and go a little deeper. It was really great and it gave me a lot more than if I'd just copy paste the code as you say.
