Crafting Interpreters has been sitting on my shelf for two or so years. I would love to read the book but the use of Java shelved it. I don’t have the time to understand the concepts from the book while simultaneously learning Java.
- vips7L 1y agoBob uses basic programming constructs. If you know any language you can follow the book.
- __alexander 1y agoYes, but half the code in the book is implemented in Java.
- blenderob 1y agoYou can use Python or anything else you like to implement your code. The Java code he writes is simple, imperative code. But the OOP stuff might get in the way. If you've got programming experience, it isn't hard to read it and write your own in your preferred language.

- __alexander 1y agoOh, that is good to know. Thanks.
- FusspawnUK 1y agoIts easy to follow along with, I did my implementation in c#, Likely even easier now you can just feed the java to chat gpt and have it translate to <insert favourite language here>.
