What is Reddit's opinion of Modern Compiler Implementation in ML?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Why not SML or ml or another language more is less designed for this task. I can recommend this book! It took my understanding of compilation to a whole new level. https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Compiler-Implement-Andrew-Appel/dp/0521607647

I have converted a very simple expression evaluator, initially developed in Caml Light in the mid-90's, to F#.

It is too basic, just linking it in case you want to have a look.

A good way to get into compilers with F# would be to use the ML version of the Tiger Book.

You can then translate ML into F#, while you go. Probably using the FSharp.Compatibility library, FsLex and FsYacc as well.
