For reasons unbeknownst to God, I have been writing a BASIC interpreter
This book has been very useful. Its a really clearly written explanation of the inner workings of the BASIC interpreter for the Atari 8-bit computers. Includes all the data structures, memory layouts, language syntax, etc
Interestingly, it calls it a "pre-compiled" interpreter because it converts the user input to numerical tokens. But I guess we would call it "bytecode" nowadays?
