Notes

Despite using them every day, most software engineers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. For many, their only expericence with that corner of computer science was a terrifying "compilers" class that they suffered throught in undergrad and tried to blotfrom their memory as soon as they had scribbled their last NFA to DFA conversion to the final exam. The fearsome reputation belies a field that rich with useful techniques and not difficult as some of its practitioners might have you believe . A better understanding of how programming languages are built will make you a stronger software engineer and teach you concepts and data structures you'll use the rest of your coding day. You might have fun. This book teaches you everything you need know to implement a full-featured, efficient scripting language. You'll learn both hight-level concepts around parsing and semantics and gritty details like bytecode representation and garbage collection. Your brain will light up with new ideas, and your hands will get dirty and calloused. Starting from main (), you will build a language that features rich syntax, dynamic typing, garbage collection , lexical scope, first-class functions, closures, classes, and inheritance.All packed into a few thousand lines of clean, fast code that you thoroughly understand because you wrote each one yourself.
