Publisher's Synopsis
"In this book, we jump into a virtual machine, compiler and opcodes, without needing to read about parsing first. The language is already written, meaning you can dive into the source code of a working language right from the start (a scripting language called langur, written in Go [by the author]). Discover how to develop some very useful features, such as for loops, multi-variable assignment, decoupling assignment, scoped if expressions, short-circuiting operators, and more. We review how opcodes make these things work in a virtual machine"--.
