alt Hacker NewsJust scannning the table of contents and I don't see any of the major topics of language design. It seems to be more like just "intro to compilers"

This looks like an undergrad-level walkthrough through key topics of how a language works. Say, python or ruby, or simpler pascal compilers.
Both compilers and language design are as old as this industry, and have too much knowledge for a single course.
This one is ok, better than most similar courses based on, say, the dragon book.
What books would you recommend for programming language design? What are the missing topics?
