I only just noticed that they are (appear to be?) different depending on the OS of each reader.

I do maintain an RSS feed on my site that matches my newsletter. I code it by hand, since it's simple enough.

Truly one of the best books in our field; very well done.
Doing the tree-walk interpreter (the first “half” of the book) took two weekends, working much of the day on Saturdays and Sundays.
When I went through it, I built my interpreter in another language, and added other features as I went along. Both helped solidify the concepts. I often had to pull out my additional features as I learned better in subsequent chapters; getting to see the difference between my amateur approach versus the author’s experienced methods was quite helpful!

One way to get at this: making your own language will show you not only what each thing means, but also what the underlying mechanics are!
Crafting Interpreters is a great guide on this: http://www.craftinginterpreters.com

On my personal site, I've published my explorations (so far) on the future of personal computing, by way of designing an "operating system of the future."
The site is built in Svelte using Elder.js as an SSG.
