This book guides you through the full process of designing and implementing your own programming language and interpreter, from language design to execution, using modern C++.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll start by exploring when and why building a domain-specific language is worth it, and how to design one to fit a specific problem domain. Along the way, you'll examine real-world interpreter architectures and see how their design decisions affect language behavior, capabilities, and runtime trade-offs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book then walks through the entire process of interpreter implementation: defining syntax, building a lexer and parser, designing an abstract syntax tree, generating executable instructions, and implementing a runtime. All examples are in modern C++, with a focus on clean architecture and real-world usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end, you'll have a fully working interpreter for a domain-specific language designed to handle network protocols-plus the knowledge and tools to design your own programming language from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Design a domain-specific language and interpreter from scratch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Write an interpreter that can be embedded into existing environments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Understand how runtime shapes language execution and interpreter design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Reason about language design and runtime trade-offs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Define and implement the execution model of an interpreted language\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Implement a lexer, parser, analyzer, and instruction emitter in C++\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Ruoso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837638071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837638079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Packt Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.77d","brand":"Daniel Ruoso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48154291437823,"sku":"9781837638079","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a1011f5-41bb-4812-a576-b4dce0a6cf85.jpg?v=1770789178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-programming-language-interpreters-daniel-ruoso-9781837638079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
