Status Updates From Engineering a Compiler

Way too many abstractions to keep track of simultaneously. There are references to the theory of computation, data structures (particularly graphs, tables and compression), language processing, computer architecture (which I tried reading once to learn about the caches: I and the Ds). Need to refer to the newest edition.

This can wait - discounts on chocolates might be up already.

It is one thing to read, but another to keep track of all that is explained, lest it blows out of proportion to understanding in no time. Trees and tables are relatable; grammar from linguistics, and a dash of architecture (which needs revisiting). It would be more enjoyable to create one for a simple high level procedure or refer to another. Ich bin flummoxed.
