Here's my attempt to be helpful!

  • Borrow or buy Simon Peyton Jones' The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages (Amazon, free PDF version).
  • Also read Implementing functional languages: a tutorial, which is a reimagining of the above for use in the classroom.
  • Read through The ZINC Experiment, Xavier Leroy's exposition of his earliest OCaml implementation.
  • I really like the LLVM Kaleidoscope tutorial series. It's not about compiling functional languages. Rather, it implements a compiler in OCaml.
  • I second u/sociopath_in_me's advice to try to tackle Crafting Interpreters again.
  • Check out The Optimal Implementation of Functional Programming Languages by Andrea Asperti and Stefano Guerrini (Amazon). There are PDFs of it all over the internet, but I don't know what its copyright status is.

    Regarding Asperti and Guerrini, there are a few people on this subreddit who are working on cutting edge research compilers for functional languages based on term-rewriting. I've found this subreddit as well as r/Compilers to be very friendly and helpful in general, so I encourage you to take advantage of them. Ask questions, bounce ideas off of people, etc.
