Essentials Of Compilation (MIT Press)
Monday, 03 April 2023

Most books about compilers dedicate one chapter to each progressive stage, a structure that hides how language features motivate design choices. By contrast, in this book subtitled An Incremental Approach in Racket, Jeremy G. Siek provides an incremental approach that allows students to write every single line of code themselves.

Essentials of Compilation guides the reader in constructing their own compiler for a small but powerful programming language, adding complex language features as the book progresses.
