GPP was great. Plus, Bob's new book is about writing interpreters!

Ah cool, thanks for the link.

It sounds like it may actually come in handy - I've ended up creating a number of solutions which came pretty close to being fully fledged domain specific languages. Sadly, despite nominally passing a CS compilers course about 20 years ago, my implementations have been horrifically incorrect. Maybe it's time to refresh my memory of how to actually do this.

oh nice, yea it's coming along (the book is not complete yet, like before, it's written and each chapter put up when complete). There's a github repo as well.

I'd say it's worth the fun of writing your own alongside or after!
