All praise Bob!

On a more serious note, have you thought about trying to aim lightning at the same spot again and write another book about implementing something most programmers take for granted?

I've definitely thought about writing a third book. I don't know if it would be about "something most programmers take for granted". I'm more interested in writing about whatever happens to excite me the most at that time.
I may be projecting, but I feel like the kind of person to get excited about crafting interpreters wod also get excited about crafting databases or OSes.
Maybe, but alas I don't know enough about either of those to write those books.
Hey Bob just made an account to let you know how much I appreciate both of your books and how much of an influence you've made on my life choices

Just want to hopefully make you feel warm inside knowing you've made a really big difference to people's lives

Thanks for being you

A type system sequel to Crafting Interpreters, please. Or a JIT compiler sequel.
