In this course, we will introduce what programmers need to know about programming languages and their implementations. You will design and implement small languages, called domain-specific languages, which are the glue of the complex software that we write today. You will also learn about principles and implementation of large, general-purpose languages and about how to exploit modern features of these languages. As the final project, you will get to design and implement a small language of your choice, from start to finish.
