Here's a great YouTube series where a developer codes, step-by-step, a pretty fully-fledged programming language: link to this video Not too much theory but from a nuts and bolts perspective I found it extremely approachable.

…you don't have experience with writing compilers like that though. There are other materials that might prove useful should you go down this path: - A series of blog posts of a student who is writing a Rust to .NET compiler which you could follow along: link The project itself: link - A video series on writing a compiler for .NET from scratch: link to this video Notes: link As for CLR via C#, while it has certain facts that remained the same, the ecosystem has changed a lot since then, you really want to target the latest LTS to get best experience and performance. If you liked it, then I can strongly suggest link which covers .NET runtime internals. p.s.: if it's any consolation, the promise i…

Struggle to understand how parsers create AST I struggle to understand how we create grammar that it covers \* before + for example. for example this: [video Any guide or post would be appreciated. Also English is not my first language, which make the matter worst.

…guage renderer as PoC or even when doing apprenticeship in high school I was rolling out csv parser instead of using libs, because... I'm not sure why, I probably didnt know how to use package manager or something) I started reading about it a lot like dragon book (but it wasnt that useful tbh, too much math heavy) or link or playlist like this: link to this video And after year of jumping into it from time to time I've implemented small, custom-lang to LLVM IR to webassembly (via LLVM) compiler. Then I had to find new job (we were very poorly paid) and I was interested in semiconductors industry because it was gaining traction (e.g chip war book) and it felt way more engineering oriented unlike web…
