Yeah I'm definitely not saying anything bad about the Dragon book here.

But I know there's a recency bias when people are evaluating tech books, so if there's a good book from the last five years I'll recommend that over a great book from the last 15, just so there's a higher chance of the recommendation actually being used.

No worries mate.

I mentioned the dragon book by obligation, not in comparison to the works you referenced.

If anyone is curious about an updated resource, I've found Modern Compiler Design much more approachable than the Dragon Book: Published in 2012, it includes chapters on designing object-oriented, functional, and logical compilers.
