About this book

Software engineers use programming languages every day, but few of us understand how those languages are designed and implemented. Crafting Interpreters gives you that insight by implementing two complete interpreters from scratch. In the process, you'll learn parsing, compilation, garbage collection, and other fundamental computer science concepts. But don't be intimidated! Crafting Interpreters walks you though all of this one step at a time with an emphasis on having fun and getting your hands dirty.
