You can't take seriously a book which spends half of its pages talking about lexing and parsing. It's the book from the times when single-pass compilers were a thing, and that's what it's about, a primitive single pass compiler. The field has advanced too much since then. Things you wont find in dragon book: type inference and modern type systems, modern GC implementations, exceptions and error handling, modern register allocations and optimizations, modules and parametric modules. Seriously, a book spends 300 pages on parsers and 4 pages on type inference and unification. |
