That is a really good suggestion. To me it seems that several known language authors have experimented with various kinds of languages before settling down. But Walter has only done assembler/C/C++/D/Java/Pascal? There are so many other important languages, such as Self, Eiffel, Scala, Scheme, SML, Haskell, Prolog, etc. It is not by any means harmful to know about their internals. There is great deals of CS concepts to be learned only by studying the language cores.
