i love these kinds of articles, but i dont understand why put the first 2 lines in it, which kind of contradict eachother.

" A handbook for making programming languages.

This book contains everything you need to implement a full-featured, efficient scripting language."

The title makes it look like you would write a compiler /assembler or some plugin for existing one. and then the first scentence dives down to the actual content.

This is obvious from the title here. it just bugs me these kind of words (programming language vs scripting language) are used like that.

Other than that, always interested to read about both topics :D
