Udemy – Building an Interpreter from scratch 2020-9

Building an Interpreter from scratch, There are so many questions when it comes to implementing a programming language! The problem with “compiler classes” in school is they usually are presented as some “hardcore rocket science” which is only for advanced engineers. Moreover, classic compiler books start from the least significant topic, such as Lexical analysis, going right away deep down to the theoretical aspects of formal grammars. And by the time of implementing a first Tokenizer module, students simply lose an interest to the topic, not having a chance to actually start implementing a programing language itself. And all this is spread to a whole semester of messing with tokenizers and BNF grammars, without understanding an actual semantics of programming languages.

I believe we should be able to build and understand a full programming language semantics, end-to-end, in 4-6 hours — with a content going straight to the point, showed in live coding session as pair-programming, and described in a comprehensible way. In the Essentials of Interpretations class we focus specifically on runtime semantics, and build a interpreter for a programming language very similar to JavaScript or Python. Implementing a programing language would also make your practical usage level of other programming languages more professional. This class is for any curious engineer, who would like to gain skills of building complex systems (and building a programming language is really a pretty advanced engineering task!), and obtain a transferable knowledge for building such systems.
