In this book we will create a programming language together. We'll start with 0 lines of code and end up with a fully working interpreter for the Monkey * programming language. Step by step. From tokens to output. All code shown and included. Fully tested. NEW: Buy the eBook bundle and get two books! This book now has a sequel in which we take the... next step in Monkey's evolution. You can buy both books together to get: Writing An Interpreter In Go and Writing A Compiler In Go in one package for a reduced bundle price! Both books in ePub (iBook), Mobi (Kindle), PDF and HTML. The complete code presented in both books, including the Monkey interpreter from Writing An Interpreter In Go and the Monkey bytecode compiler and virtual machine from Writing A Compiler In Go . Buy this book to learn: This is the book I wanted to have a year ago. This is the book I couldn't find. I wrote this book for you and me. So why should you buy it? What's different about it, compared to other interpreter or compiler literature? Working code is the focus. Code is not just found in the appendix. Code is the main focus of this book. It's small! It has around 200 pages of which a great deal is readable, syntax-highlighted, working code. The code presented in the book is easy to understand, easy to extend, easy to maintain. No 3rd party libraries! You're not left wondering: "But how does tool X do that?" We won't use a tool X. We only use the Go standard library and write everything ourselves. Tests! The interpreter we build in the book is fully tested! Sometimes in TDD style, sometimes with the tests written after. You can easily run the tests to experiment with the interpreter and make changes. "If you dont know how compilers work, then you dont know how computers work. If youre not 100% sure whether you know how compilers work, then you dont know how they work." love programming and to program for the sake of learning and joy! are interested in how your favorite, interpreted programming language works but don't want to work through a ...Read More
