Build Your Own Programming Language: A programmer's guide to designing compilers, interpreters, and DSLs for solving modern computing problems

This book is a comprehensive guide to creating your own programming language, with a focus on reducing development time and solving pain points in your application domain.

Learn how to build a custom parser, code generator, file reader, analyzer, and interpreter, and create an alternative to frameworks and libraries for solving domain-specific problems.

The book covers the implementation of a frontend compiler, including a lexical analyzer and parser, and culminates with code generation for a bytecode virtual machine.

You'll also learn how to implement garbage collection, including reference counting and mark-and-sweep garbage collection.

With the experience of building the Unicon programming language, Dr.

Jeffery provides relevant examples in both Unicon and Java to help you follow along.

This book is perfect for developers who want to create their own domain-specific languages and reduce development time and cost.
