On: The 3 Programming Languages you need to Know

Great list, thank you. I've been eying Purely Functional Data Structures on Amazon, good to have a HN testimonial on that one. Will add that to my shopping cart for the next batch I buy.

I've also been looking at Modern Compiler Implementation in ML, but have no experience in compilers (no courses, work, anything). Should I read Aho first, or is that one I could dive right into?

I haven't read the newer edition of the dragon book, but MCIiML is a much better starting place than the old dragon.
