> If you just follow the java/C example you are tempted to lean into copy/pasting the samples, but figuring things out in other languages is a great experience.

I'll echo this recommendation.

I haven't gone through Crafting Interpreters yet (it's on the bookshelf) but I did go through a big chunk of Building Git and instead of Ruby I did it in Rust, to get back into the language and go a little deeper.

It was really great and it gave me a lot more than if I'd just copy paste the code as you say.
