About compilers and interpreters

If you always wanted to write your programming language - welcome. Here you will surely find something interesting for yourself.

GitHub-user yawnt has compiled a wonderful selection of links for fans of dragons, languages ​​and other delicious entrails. And knowledgeable comrades in the comments will probably share with you and other dishes.

Yawnt writes the following:

With each passing day, the topic of compilers, interpreters, and the design of programming languages ​​as a whole is more and more interesting to me. And I decided to share with the people links to the materials I collected (most of which I have yet to read: <). I hope someone will find it useful.

I did not include (and do not intend to) link to the official documentation in the list, because I consider it obvious that the first thing to look at is there; P.

All, of course, is in English. We share links to Russian-language materials (and to existing translations of these works) in the comments, gentlemen! The theme is insanely exciting.
