Writing An Interpreter In Go

Crafting Interpreters is a good recommendation, and in the same spirit "Writing an Interpreter in Go" (and it's followup about writing a virtual machine) is a good addition. A lot of the complexity and front-work of these kinda things is the parsing step though, so you can follow MAL (or any other make a lisp tutorial) though that won't necessarily help with other languages it frees you to jump to the interesting parts. FORTH, mentioned in another comment, has that same appeal. I wrote a quick tutorial here, back in the day: https://github.com/skx/foth

There's the Writing an Interpreter/Compiler in Go books: https://interpreterbook.com/ (Compiler book link is on that page too).

I would recommend reading/implementing the below: 1. 'Write a Interpreter in Go' by Thorsten Ball 2. 'Write a Compiler in Go' by Thorsten Ball 3. 'Crafting Interpreters' by Bob Nystrom 4. 'Ruby under a Microscope' by Pat Shaughnessy

Thorsten Ball's Writing An Interpreter In Go. A fantastically written technical book that walks through writing an interpreter for a simple programming language. It's test driven and a great introduction to the core concepts. Also a good book to get hands on with idiomatic Go code. https://interpreterbook.com/ Thorsten does a great job talking about the concepts in the book in this Go Time podcast: https://changelog.com/gotime/107
