Always cool to see people experimenting with languages! I'm doing a similar thing with wheel-lang [0], which started as pretty purely imperative, but is starting to grow some object-oriented features.

Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters is a great resource; I've also liked Compiling to Assembly From Scratch [1] and Write You a Haskell [2].

There are other variations for functional programming languages. Lisp [1]. Scheme [2]. Lisp Interpreter written in Python.

I love Norvigs text. I built a minimalistic lisp (https://github.com/bergsans/one-page-lisp) to learn more after reading the text. Thanks!

Cool! And I hope as well learn a lot (from building wheel-lang)! Thanks for the links!
