Gary Bernhardt is currently working on a book: https://twitter.com/garybernhardt/status/485978334434586625 You could do worse than learning from his book when it comes out!…

I'm working on a programming language. It's a reimagining of Python as a statically-typed, compiled language. The compiler is written in Python and targets LLVM IR. Currently working towards…
