Glowing review of Shared Source CLI Essentials

Werner Vogels posted a glowing review of Shared Source CLI Essentials by David Stutz, Ted Neward and Geoff Shilling.

Looks like a book I should order for our university library.

I am not aware of good books about language (run time) implementation, that cover the techniques used in real systems (as opposed to student projects). Feel free to tell us about your favorites.

Georg Bauer sent me the following list:

Hi!

There are some that spring to mind when looking at my bookshelf. I only quote those for higher level language and spare you the lowlevel crop ;-)

Kogge: "The Architecture of Symbolic Computers" (more oriented towards real machines, not virtual ones, but most aspects still apply)

Peyton Jones: "The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages"

Queinnec: "Lisp In Small Pieces"

Griswold: "The Implementation of the Icon Programming Language" (hard to come by, but worth the hunt! And might be the best on target to your question, as it details the implementation of the icon runtime.)

Allen: "Anatomy of Lisp" (ok, an oldy, but goldy)

I can sell a copy of the Griswold book, if anyone wants it. (More books here, including a number of programming-language books.)
