chip8-book VS Essentials-of-Compilation

Not to discourage you, but there's already a CHIP-8 book in progress: https://github.com/aquova/chip8-book

WASM support would be so cool. There are lots of guides online which could help you out. I saw a guide for the chip8 and it didn't even look too difficult, you can check it out here https://github.com/aquova/chip8-book

Recently I've decided to learn low level programming with Rust. I asked for some projects to practice and got recommened to make a Chip8 emulator. That sounded fun so I searched a bit and found this guide that walks you step by step.

I made some emulators in Rust as a learning project during the start of the pandemic, and ran into the exact same issue when I wanted to make a wasm version to run in a browser. Eventually, I was able to figure out how to do it, although I do use the 'wasm-pack' Cargo package to assist with it (I think you can get away without it if you're really motivated, you just need to set up the targets and other elements yourself). Basically you define some Rust API to expose whatever you need from your project, then that and the project get compiled into one .wasm binary and some (surprisingly readable) JavaScript "glue" gets generated which allows for easy inclusion into a web page. It works well for code in the std, but I've had issues with 3rd party packages.

It's focused on emulation development, but I wrote a document that describes the process I followed: https://github.com/aquova/chip8-book/blob/master/src/wasm.md

I followed [this](https://github.com/aquova/chip8-book) book which uses Rust.

I just checked it out.

apart from the book which you can buy, there is an open access edition, linked from the MIT press page, thanks to funding by Google, they say:

if you like compilers you should this book out https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation.

Essentials of compilation by Dr. Siek. There’s a GitHub repo. Just navigate to the releases and you will find a pdf https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. This book is really good and it’s practical. There’s a lot of code and it guides you along the way. So it’s a great book to self study. To supplement this you can buy Engineering a Compiler by cooper. This is more comprehensive but there’s no code in this book, only pseudo code. Start with essentials of compilation my friend. It will teach you everything you need.

You can try this book if you want something that came out this year https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio.... Go to the releases to either get the racket version or python version. But I mean cmu uses the dragon book second edition for a graduate level compiler optimization class.

This paper is my favorite introduction to compilers, it's short and hands-on: http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf

There is a book-length expansion of this paper that goes into more detail: https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio...

This compiler book explains monadic normal form which it’s anf but not 100 percent because of the difference in how let expressions are represented. https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation

I learned to write compilers by reading "Essentials of Compilation." You can find a free pdf in the book's repo https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. The book is published my MIT Press although right now the racket version is out. the python version is coming out soon. the link that I just shared is for the python version. This is a great book . I recommend it

One of the best (free/open source) books for learning how to write a compiler is Essentials of Compilation. It comes in two flavors: Racket and Python. I'm less familiar with the Python version, but it might be what you're looking for.

Not sure about specifics, but maybe https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation is worth a look?
