A Completely Non-Technical Explanation of Deep Learning
I find the best way to learn technical topics is to build a simplified version of the thing. The trick is to understand the relationship between the high level components without getting lost in the details. This high level understanding then helps inform you when you drill down into specifics.
I think this book is a shining example of that philosophy: https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/. In the book, you implement an extremely bare-bones version of lisp, but it has been invaluable in my career. I found I was able to understand nuanced language features much more quickly because I have a clear model of how programming languages are decomposed into their components.

Looking for beginner resources on writing a Lisp from scratch
Build your own Lisp is cool but offloads the language grammar and the parsing to the author's mpc library, this is already way overkill for what I'd like to do.

Repost from LinkedIn. I found it quite hilarious
Lisps are also a good language if you want to know how languages work. They are very easy to make an interpreter for. There are good tutorials for that at https://github.com/kanaka/mal and https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/.

Lisp in 99 lines of C and how to write one yourself [pdf]
Anyone have any input on:
https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/
It's been in my bookmarks for a long time but I've never really had time to really start it. The "who is this for" page say:
"This book is for anyone wanting to learn C, or who has once wondered how to build their own programming language.".
Well, I'm fairly competent in C (but not great) but would like to get a glimpse of what it's like to build my own language. Is it worth the time?
