I really like that book too. IMHO he didn't really need to write all
the examples in his very own language though. (Who does he think he is,
Knuth? ;)
The best beginner book on the subject of compilers IMHO is Appel's
Modern Compiler Implementation in ML. It is *much* easier to read
than the dragon book. There are other language versions of it, but
it seems kind of heretical to read Appel without ML.
