I'm in the process of reading Adler's book now, and I've found it's pretty bootstrap-able. I've been able to apply the lessons as I go along, and I've even gone back to earlier sections and increased the "resolution" of my understanding so to speak by applying later techniques.
Exciting writeup! Looking forward to reading this later.
Any PL related material you'd recommend as a prerequisite for these materials? I don't have a formal CS background, but I do have a few years' professional experience.
Awesome for the author to post course material online! The use of Rust and Webassembly seem really interesting. Definitely something I'll check out.

I think this is a great angle to take. Small businesses don't care at all about modern web development, and I think sites like this best suite their needs. Keep it up :)
