Author here! It feels amazing to have this done and live. I'm happy to talk about whatever you might want to know about it. If you're curious how the sausage was made, I wrote a blog post about taking the web book and bringing it to print and ebook here: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2021/07/29/640-pages-in-15...
I've skimmed the web version till the end, but thoroughly read half of it, still learned a lot. Especially the pragmatic approach to code generation via string concatenation. I went a bit further with a small dsl that also does string concatenation.
My C# and Rust implementations are half baked, but still I had a lot of fun doing them, and that's all that counts.
Can't wait to see Bob's next endeavor.
Between A) Being implemented in Java and B) Not having anything satisfying on types I can't get excited about it. I know it's an uncommon opinion but there's so much missing it can't be a monograph/treatise.
The PDF sample I opened suggests it's implemented in C. The GitHub suggests it uses both C and Java: https://github.com/confucianzuoyuan/craftinginterpreters

> I was inspired by one of your posts where you mention that you were writing every single day for four years. Yes! It is the dumbest, weirdest life hack, but it seems to work for perfectionists like us.
I wonder if anyone wrote a book about this!
I went through Part 1 towards the beginning of quarantine, and it spawned several really fun projects and I now feel like I have a basic level of skill writing parsers, which I've actually gotten to use a couple times at my day job.
I will say, I feel like it would be a lot harder to follow along with a physical print vs another window on my computer screen. But I may buy one anyway just to support the author.
Highly recommend!

As others have said, congratulations. I've been following your progress for a good part of this journey, and I'm excited that you're finally able to hold a finished product in your hands! And now I'm stuck with a dilemma. I don't _need_ a physical copy, but I really do _want_ one.

But seriously congratulations! I'll happily spend my own money to support all the effort you put into this!
