ML utilizes continuous mathematics, while compiler design including static analysis usually favor discrete mathematics. I wouldn't say the concepts are interchangeable.

The classic text book is the Dragon Book. Another good start on the compiler side are projects like https://buildyourownlisp.com/.

A lot of people start with lexing, parsing, and so on before moving on, but you can start from the static analysis side too. I would look at the LLVM framework and the Clang Static Analyzer, and use one of the tutorials for that to write a small analyzer for C.




Thank you so much for the guidance!! I will look into it soon!!
