I’d recommend a language with automatic memory management for the AST walking interpreter in the first half of the book so you don’t have to worry about how everything gets allocated.

Either Zig or Rust would be great for the bytecode compiler/interpreter in the second half of the book, which is written with the expectation of manual memory management. I personally chose Zig and it was fun.
