Personally, I found "Writing an Interpreter in Go" better than "Crafting Interpreters". It has a follow-up book titled "Writing a Compiler in Go", which (similar to Crafting Interpreter's second half) implements a virtual machine. The books take a lot of inspiration from Crafting Interpreters.
If this sounds at all appealing to you, I would check it out. I found Monkey so far somewhat more compelling than Lox (might be personal preference, though), and I thought the exposition (and code quality) was overall better. Go is also very easy to pick up.
