Crafting Interpreters


Ever wanted to make your own programming language or wondered how they are designed and built? If so, this book is for you. Crafting Interpreters contains everything you need to implement a full-featured, efficient scripting language.

You’ll learn both high-level concepts around parsing and semantics and gritty details like bytecode representation and garbage collection. Starting from main(), you 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 write each one yourself.
