Building a Virtual Machine for Programming Language [1/29]: VM pipeline

Показать описание

This is the first lecture from the "Building a Virtual Machine" course where we build a Stack-based virtual machine a full programming similar to JavaScript and Python.

In this lecture:

- Course overview and agenda
- Parsing pipeline
- Tokenizer module (Lexical analysis)
- Parser module (Syntactic analysis)
- Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
- Interpreters vs. Compilers
- AST interpreters
- Bytecode interpreters
- Eva programming language
- S-expression
- Instruction pointer
- Eval loop
- Halt instruction

Just logged on to Dmitry's page to check if this course is finally available, and (1) it is (2) there's a black Friday discount. I've just signed up -- I'm so excited it's not even funny. 😁

Wow, that thing is awesome. Started watching expecting the usual "slide-only" presentation but it surprised me after all

Thank you! Great work. I didn't even know what direction to dig

Awesome, I've been waiting for this one. I really enjoy your teaching style

Great course Dmitry, just finished it. The illustrations and pseudocode at the beginning of Lecture 25 (GC sweep) were particularly helpful, would love to see more in future lessons. Looking forward to LLVM.

Great job, Dmitry! Your lectures go straight to the point. I learned a lot from the interpreters class and look forward to this one

Awesome. I was planning to refresh compilers and virtual-machines and came across your excellent courses on
parsing fundamentals and building interpreters. I really like your teaching style which has the right amount of theoritical and practical information.

I was looking for one to build Virtual Machines and JIT. Thanks a lot. Are you planning any courses on JIT compiler ?

Hello, why there are videos missing from the "Essentials of Interpretation" playlist?

milutinke

yes! I was waiting for this course long time ago. Did you host it at Teachable or Udemy? please provide the link if so. Thanks a lot.
BTW: will you plan to do a "Transpiler" course in the future?

It's awesome! Thanks a lot! Is this course planned to be posted on youtube or udemy?

does it make sense to make a virtual machine for debugging/learning purposes with a command set that has low-level semantics, but uses high-level symbolic addressing (*) and typed commands (**) ?

(*) variables and other objects addressed by strings in VM associative memory, not integer v.pointers in byte array
(**) not CPU-like byte commands, but typed struct{}s grouped into trees
