Javascript/Node.js: pretty much anything written by https://github.com/visionmedia (his less popular libraries are not very well commented though) https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore

Scheme (and functional programming in general): examples/exercises from the SICP book

>>> http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824-2013/ Do each lab. Read the discussion and rtm's course notes. How to read the discussions? I think it's not publicly available. Btw, thanks a lot for the great post.

It's a little hidden: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824-2013/schedule.html

I meant specifically the "discussions", as mentioned in the 'course information' page: >>> "Please use Piazza to discuss labs, lectures and papers. We will look at Piazza regularly and answer questions (unless one of you answers first); the entire class can see and benefit from these exchanges."

The sources to Lua are pretty darn great: http://www.lua.org/source/5.2/

Agreed, and after you've worked through the source to the canonical implementation of Lua, you can level-up by looking into the source of LuaJIT: http://luajit.org/download.html

Both are immensely awesome codebases, but the level-up is perhaps a bit too steep. Going from delightful ANSI C (vanilla Lua) to a lot of assembly + C (LuaJIT's interpreter) and runtime assembly generation (the JIT) is no slight task.

Oh, I haven't tried looking for that. If you find a way, let me know! I'd be interested to read it too.
