A lot of great books are already mentioned. I also enjoyed "Masterminds of Programming: Conversations With The Creators Of Major Programming Languages" [0] It's a collection of interviews with creators of languages (FORTH, C++, Python, Haskell, and many more) You learn a lot about language design decisions and their pitfalls. And a shameless plug: I shared MapFilterFold as a Show HN earlier, a project that collects recommendations from Ask HN threads. Browsing the books tagged computer science might yield some interesting results[1] [0] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596515170/ [1] https://mapfilterfold.com/books/?genre=computer%20science
