Types and Programming Languages (book)

"Types and Programming Languages" by Benjamin C. Pierce explores how programming languages use types—categories like integers, strings, or custom data—to ensure code correctness and safety. It examines the design principles behind type systems, how they help catch errors early, and their impact on software reliability. The book combines theoretical foundations with practical insights, making it valuable for understanding how different languages handle data and enforce rules through types. Overall, it provides a deep look at the role of types in creating robust, maintainable, and expressive programming languages.
