I'm enjoying those!

Honestly, I had a bit of impostor syndrome kick when you mentioned that the 330 course was required, being self taught and all... but I know OCaml so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Currently going through the Crafting Interpreters book and this seems like an excellent supplement for my journey into the world of language hacking.

Thanks a lot for posting those, they are very clear and encouraging!

Apologies for causing a spike in your impostor syndrome!

330 is 'required' in the sense that you're not allowed to take 430 at UMD without having taken 330.

Perhaps a better way of phrasing it would have been to list the things we assume students have retained from 330. One of which is OCaml :D

I hope these videos provide some value to you! Always feel free to reach out if there's anything you think I could do better.
