I really like this.

Python is the first language I learned. So it's like this is being written in my native tongue.

I've read crafting interpreters, numerous times both before and after learning some Java basics, but seeing it in Python made it click.

Also love the way you used classes. That helped clarify some confusion I had with classes in Python.

I'm working through Crafting Interpreters right now, converting the Java to Python as I go. Most things are fairly straight forward to convert, but there are definitely some topics that I've had to learn about in Java (not a language I know very well) so I could figure out how to do it in Python. Really great book and great learning project.
