Do you know Haskell? If not, I suggest you get accustomed to the language, and then read about monadic parsing [1] through Graham Hutton's work. Graham is a famous CS professor at U Notthingham, appears often in ComputerPhile [3,4], and wrote a book on Haskell [2].I had to write an interpreter, optimizer and engine for a declarative language plus bottom up knowledge base in Haskell as part of an assignment, and an exam in a graduate course on advanced programming. Haskell made the problem significantly easier compared to languages I am much more comfortable with, like Python or C.

⬐ sevensorSurprised this is the only mention of SICP. Although I don't know that I would have been able to handle it earlier in life. Perhaps it's different with accompanying lectures, but for self study it's quite a workout. I think it's worth trying, worth putting aside for later if you're not ready, and worth ultimately returning to. I'd be amazed if the undergraduates it was aimed at were able to appreciate it in full.
