Ask HN: Writing an Interpreter in Go or Crafting Interpreters?

4 points by lordleft a day ago

I'm thinking of learning about compilers and am pleased to find that there seems to be at least two very accessible choices, "Writing An Interpreter In Go" and Crafting Interpreters. Curious if folks here have experience with either and could provide recommendations?

Read both if you like.

I read and liked them both, but my heart belongs to Bob's writing, especially the C implementation in Crafting Interpreters and how he explains things.
