working on the open-source JRuby project, with a particular focus on

Don’t you mean 1.0 Enterprise Edition 2.3 Excelsior status? I think
you’re missing a few project code names too.
I’ve read Charles’ posts many times. The JRuby project is pretty cool.
Wish I had the chops to put something like that together. Congrats.

I don’t agree about those books, actually. I didn’t like them and I
don’t think you’ll learn that much from them. My recommendation is the
Dragon book. (Compilers - Principles, Techniques and Tools)
But c’mon, you just know Sun is gonna slap a few extra version numbers on that thing and push it to the Enterprise crowd. They can’t resist. It’s in their nature and for whatever reason sells things like meth hotcakes for them.
Incidentally, you may be right if it was JRuby and not just the two core
developers that were hired. As of now, Sun has declared that the JRuby
project will continue unhindered, and the JRuby community will continue
to have their say. (I would definitely not like extra version numbers
like this, for example…)

Oh yeah, for sureness JRuby is very cool. If you actually are
interested in learning how to do this then check out:

Oh well, either I’m losing my touch at being funny or it’s against
corporate policy.

Another very good book on interpreters is http://www.amazon.com/
Programming-Languages-Interpreter-based-Samuel-Kamin/dp/0201068249/
ref=sr_11_1/026-5047787-0958832?ie=UTF8 although the examples are all
written in pascal…

Seconded. Kamin’s is a very good book.
I’m also a huge fan of Wirth’s Compiler Construction book. 130 pages
of condensed brilliance and lucidity… Screw all those others! This
one is free:

Hey someone my age, brilliant book, but maybe outdated a little bit,
well
to learn some good technique is never outdated, let me rephrase this
“less
useful nowadays”
Maybe a PL0 interpreter would be a nice Ruby Q., I guess it would.

Well I just looked at this awful link and realized this is a
completely
new edition - I was talking about the 197x edition, ahmm maybe you are
not
my age 
Gotta read this…
Cheers
