This is super cool, thanks for sharing! Are there any books or other resources that you found helpful in learning and implementing Whack? I’m dabbling a little bit with PLs and would love to hear your opinion.

You might find Types and programming languages - Benjamin C. Pierce to be particularly interesting. There's a GitHub repo with a list of materials, can't seem to find it. When I do, will remember to share!
Thank you! Looks very interesting. As for working with LLVM codegen libraries, would you recommend anything beyond the official docs? I found that most books for this sort of thing are based older APIs from a few versions ago.
I haven't come across good material on the matter. If you do use C++ I do recommend you employ RAAI idiom in code generation for help with lexical scoping for your language.
