What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Have you written C code and really wondered how this turns into code that runs on a processor? Nora’s book will not only help you see how that works but will help you to understand how to do these sorts of translations for your own assets, in language and code accessible to people without a PhD in compilers.”
—Lars Bergstrom, Director of Engineering at Google
“This book is a great introduction to the topic of compilers for programming languages. It is extremely thorough, with many suggestions for further reading, while being quite enjoyable to read — a ‘soup-to-nuts’ treatment of compiler writing for C-like languages.”
—John Reppy, Professor of Computer Science, University of Chicago
“It is refreshing to read a book on compiler design with a focus on implementing a practical real-world language, rather than working through dry academic exercises … practical, fun, and exciting to read if you are sick of reading textbooks on the subject.”
—Rick Battagline, author of The Art of WebAssembly
