  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.

• The dragon compiler book (2nd edition) is a great book

  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

  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

• Hey guys, have any of you tried creating your own language using Python? I'm interested in giving it a shot and was wondering if anyone has any tips or resources to recommend. Thanks in advance!

  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.

• Best book on writing an optimizing compiler (inlining, types, abstract interpretation)?

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