Ask HN: Books that teach you programming languages via systems projects?

Concur with this recommendation.

It's possible to work through Bob Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters[1] using any language you want.

Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective by Randal E. Bryant (Author), David R. O'Hallaron (Author)

I highly recommend this book if you want to level up your C programming skills and knowledge of Unix operating systems (specially portability and Linux).

Norvig, https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp (free online now).

There's the Writing an Interpreter/Compiler in Go books

Learn Python the Hard Way

The Ray Tracer Challenge[0] is super fun and language agnostic.

Second this, don't buy global edition.

I can highly recommend this

Peter Shirley's Ray Tracing in One Weekend book (and sequels) are also fun little projects

The Maze book is really good. Definitely recommend.

He also has a book about mazes that is great but ruby specific. Though you could adapt it to another language.

Yes, the Minix book is also good.
