More about the book
Focusing on the intricacies of programming languages, the author emphasizes the importance of writing semantic descriptions to effectively grasp a language's features. Unlike compilers or interpreters, which provide formal but limited definitions, formal semantics allow designers to create concise descriptions that clarify design choices and support reasoning about the language. This approach not only enhances understanding but also accommodates various implementations, making it a valuable skill for language designers and programmers alike.
