Learning to build languages
Probably you are trying to learn building languages.
I have gone down that road some years ago.
Chances are that you, like me, having been frustrated by:
- tutorials which are too theoretical: where is the code?
- outdated resources: I am happy this used to work on a compiler of 20 years ago but it does not compile on my machine
- no big picture: you find some tutorials on parsers and some of compilers but where are the resources giving you the whole map?
What resources you will find here
So I thought I could help by creating these resources:
- a book: everything is ready for you to learn following a well organized plan so that you can focus on the real stuff: building great languages
- a checklist of the 5 most important things to get right when building a language
- a course: if you do not want to buy the book you can follow a series of posts which should help you getting started
- tens of posts: will discuss all sort of topics related to building languages
Whichever path you pick these resources should help you getting started. If you feel something is missing or you do not know where to start from feel write to write at [email protected]. I will do my best to help you.
