    The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

    Although AI has been all the rage lately, I was actually always excited the most by building a compiler. After a few years of dabbling with it, I created one together with my brother: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp

    It is a DSL (a simple config language for building web apps) so not that complicated as a Turing-complete language, but still a lot of concepts remain.

    As a good starting resources for building your own compiler I'd also recommend Crafting Interpreters, super nicely explained and fun to go through: https://craftinginterpreters.com/
