As for implementation Racket and/or Scheme, I'd suggest reading Dybvig's papers [1], particularly his dissertation (which is very readable by a novice) [2]. Also the articles on Larceny [3], including its web page about the compiler [4]. Finally, Casey Klein (and others) have a paper that describes

Hello Racketeers, A friend and I recently finished working through this book together, The Elements of Computing Systems - http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/, where we built a computer (virtually) from the ground up: from NAND gates, to a (barely) working compiler and a very basic OS. After finishing all
