     * Crafting Interpreters
     * Quantum Computing since Democratus
     * maybe some functional programming books?

     @pry it's a GCC language long before rust got a GCC frontend, pascal/modula2 style syntax, has a variant called spark if you are really paranoid about safety, and writing programs involves calling procedures or modules essentially except unlike pascal they really push writing your own.
